With a little shake of a can—and a whole lot of spray paint—The South Branch of the Elyria Public Library on 15th Street is stopping people in their tracks and captivating the community.
ELYRIA, Ohio — A local nonprofit is working hand-in-hand with Lorain County teenagers to beautify the city and help inspire them to find their passion.Leaders behind the project say it’s more than just a piece of art—it’s a way to help those struggling better cope and heal.Officials say the teens are leaving their mark in a positive fashion and inspiring others to take action as well."I really like the hands-- like the heart," said Chad Fedorovich, owner of the Cleveland Mural Company.
Their goal is to empower the next generation through leadership, community improvement projects and help them channel their energy toward something meaningful for the long term. Eye-popping colors, flowers and positive affirmations are splashed across the back wall outside of the library."We met every Saturday morning with the students of Leaders of Today, they kind of presented ideas and concepts, and I put their ideas together," Fedorovich said.
