Youth Voices is working with students from Mountain View High School to re-imagine the San Gabriel River and the surrounding communities. The student teams are exploring and investigating their communities by mapping assets, conducting outreach, and collecting stories through interviews with local residents and experts. Follow their work here, and on Twitter and Instagram at #kcetyv

Team Tenacious 3 presented the following presentation to a group of community residents and experts, highlighting their plan to restore or redesign the Mountain View High School mural. The mural, visible from the San Gabriel River bike path, Valley Boulevard, and from the 605 Freeway, announces that this is the home of the Vikings.
