Emerald Coast Science Center facilitated a session where participants screen-printed their own t-shirts, promoting creativity and self-expression.

Pure & Couture Salon brought stylists to host a braid bar, giving students a confidence boost. Additionally, a yoga session taught relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices to help manage stress.

“Eglin Federal Credit Union is proud to partner with United Way Emerald Coast to present this sold out event, which provides a positive environment for local teens,” said Neko Stubblefield, Senior Vice President of Membership and Community Development.

“Our goal is to uplift the communities in which we live and work. We see tremendous value in providing tools and resources to empower teens in Walton County.”
