CORRAL has been privileged to partner with @lci_ncsu over the last several years.

For our students, who have often been silenced by injustice and trauma, the opportunity and encouragement to write and publish their own stories is an empowering, life-giving experience. Our gratitude for LCI is entwined with in our love for Dr. Crystal Chen Lee. She was - and is - a blessing to our mission in many ways. As a CORRAL board member and vice-chair, Crystal's vision and dedication to our youth shaped the organization's work during a critical time of growth and transition. She helped guide CORRAL with the same faith, wisdom, and joy that inspired her to found and lead the Literacy and Community Initiative at NC State. We are so excited to see the art, stories, and growth from our students as they embark on this new program year with LCI! We look forward to celebrating their voices and feeling Crystal's impact in their art and words. ❤️ To hear more from LCI Director and Associate Professor Angela Wiseman, CORRAL Program Director Shelby Edmond, and students from @refugeehopepartners and CORRAL, check our stories for the link to the full video! ✨ . . . #CORRAL #ncsu #ncstateuniversity #literacymatters #youthmentalhealth
