Following a countywide design competition launched in July, the Fairfax Prevention Coalition has announced the winning design which will be used as a visual representation of the coalition. Created by 10th-grade student and Mott Community Center member Paolo Chavez, the design shows four interlocking hands under the words “Empowering, Strengthening, Communities.” The Department of Neighborhood and Community Services coordinated participation for the logo contest among rising first through ninth graders in the Technology Program offered at Fairfax County Community Centers. Altogether, 94 of the 117 contest submissions came from NCS Community Center youths.
