Project director Pamela Hooks worked with the youth to create a Healing Room where the youth could begin to feel safe enough and inspired enough to dream new dreams. In addition to transforming the room into their own beautiful space through the creation of a painted fabric quilt, the students engaged in creative writing, music education, nutrition and life-choices education, dance, and video production. The students also learned through cultural field trips and visits from artists.

Thanks to a special partnership with the SCRIBE Video Center, the youth will also were able to share their creative inspirations through a video production filmed, edited, and produced by the youth themselves!
