This past Saturday, YouthRoots teamed up with our new partners at ViVe Wellness for a YouthScan workshop! 💜

Young people came together to share their voices on what matters most to them, and we loved every minute.

Thank you to Yoli and the whole ViVe team for welcoming us.
ViVe Wellness does incredible work supporting young people and families in Denver, and we can’t wait to explore more ways to partner.

Go follow to see their impact!
