Check out these great photos of our "I'm Awesome Flags" - a project that celebrates all the reasons why our HALO youth are awesome - and, of course, Halloween pumpkin creatures!

HALO facilitates art workshop with Academy Award-winning artist!

HALO had the privilege of partnering with Hallmark and reStart, Inc. to facilitate an art workshop with Inocente, a former homeless teen who has found fame and purpose through painting. Inocente is the star of an Academy Award-winning documentary, Inocente, about her life as a homeless teen and the art she creates to move past her struggles. reStart youth watched the documentary, had a question and answer session with the artist, and then created their own works of art. Check out these great photos of an inspiring night (and the pizza party that followed of course)!
