You may see some great new artwork at various public sites around Lansing this weekend.

Those masterpieces will be the handiwork on area kids aged seven to 15.  They're part of a youth program called "THRIVE."  The program emphasizes goals and personal achievement to help children avoid cycles of drug and alcohol dependence.

Current State's Mark Bashore talks with THRIVE Lansing program director Laura Croff.

Kevin Lavery served as a general assignment reporter and occasional local host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered before retiring in 2023.
