The Problem

I am trying to prevent graffitti in my local community.

Plan of Action

I am doing this by bringing in local artist who are familiar with graffiti styles, but paint for a purpose in the community, such as churches, teens centers, and schools. I had them to talk to the students and show them their work to inspire them to use thier talent in different ways, I am encouranging the students to go paint in community projects instead of in illegal areas.
