One of our goals through Redmond VolunTEENs is to spread awareness about different issues worldwide, which we are passionate about. The way we do our part is through our Posts of the Week, where we explain a topic in depth in a visually appealing post. The posts are released on our Instagram every Sunday, and are all hand-drawn! By staying consistent with this, we hope that we can bring light to issues that need to spoken about, and provide much needed support to our community. View our Posts of the Week below and through our Instagram!
