Phase 1 Milestones
Let’s Talk Salinas @NuestroSalinas
March 21, 2018
Through Let’s Talk Salinas, we invite the Salinas community to show us YOUR Salinas, tagging photos and posts with the hashtag #NuestroSalinas and our handle @NuestroSalinas. @NuestroSalinas is designed with teens, for teens to promote community and connection among Salinas teens and those who love them. We aim to rally the community around teens, to let teens know they matter, that people care about them and there are resources available to help them achieve happy, healthy lives.
