HALO Youth Help Paint Mural at K.C. Public Library!

As part of the Community and Self-Betterment Workshop, HALO Center youth gave back to the community on Saturday, helping local artists Jessica Rogers and José Faust paint a mural at the Kansas City Public Library - North-East Branch. Along with other volunteers from the community, HALO youth helped beautify a wall in the library's parking lot. Check out these fun photos!
