What you’ll do

Learn more about this organization's important work of empowering women to be successful in the sustainable fashion industry, starting with a story shared by a woman they have served.

Find out how and why the organization was formed and better understand their impact, hear about their programs and how they've supported community members, and discover the organization's plans for the future—as well as how you can get involved to help them make an impact. A presentation will help you understand the current state of the fashion industry and the goals of sustainable fashion, and an interactive activity will encourage you to think of what sustainability and the fashion industry mean to you—and the ways that they may overlap.
