Fits 

Community Fits, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to positively impacting the lives of youth. We are committed to empowering youth through creative outlets, particularly in the realm of fashion and textile arts. By offering skill-building opportunities, our programs enable young individuals to explore their creativity, learn valuable fashion-related skills, and open doors to new opportunities. Additionally, we emphasize overall wellness and emotional intelligence, approaching programs from a trauma-informed lens. Our organization is rooted in evidence-based practices, leveraging research and best practices to inform our programs and interventions. We hope to invoke community healing and foster a supportive community for youth to thrive.

Your generosity fuels the spark of creativity in young minds!
