Sewing and Art
This weekly class brings people together to build community, learn, and encourage mental health. Transitioning into a new country and the day-to-day can feel overwhelming, and we understand the importance of finding joy in the mess.
In class, attendees often sew and embroider, but have also done screen printing, linoleum printing, and created a variety of projects. With these projects, they also have an opportunity to sell their work and dip into learning entrepreneurship. Projects are completely determined by what attendees want. Past projects have been bags for the homeless, fabric banners, NICU gowns, tote bags, kitchen towels that hold printed recipes, and dog beds for animal shelters.
All materials are provided for attendees. They also get to learn to take found material from donations to create something beautiful.
Dream Makers
Our Dream Maker program helps clients use existing skills and passions to start their own businesses and secure a stable income. We see talents in our clients and ask if they want to pursue it entrepreneurially. We work with partners and companies to learn how to help make our clients successful while providing them with a mentor in the industry. They learn branding, pricing, system processes, business, and more. It is truly a partnership of efforts between the client, us, and partners! We walk with them for the long-term, pursuing these dreams for years until they come into full fruition.
