#ProjectViva staff members attended a @CoRAL_DPM retreat. It was a fun day that included team bonding, identifying individual strengths, and working together to assess and reevaluate the CoRAL mission.

Last week, members of the #ProjectViva team participated in @Point32Health’s volunteer week. Volunteers worked with the @RedSoxFund, cleaning up the Back Bay Fens, and with the @WLPBoston, helping with cleaning, organizing and food prep. We’re proud of what they accomplished!
