Join Our Team at CrochetForChnge!
What is CrochetForChnge?
CrochetForChnge is a youth-owned and led nonprofit that focuses on bridging the gap between art and social justice. We provide a diverse network for youth to engage with advocacy and service work in different, more creative, capacities. We do this by:
selling products online and in person (markets, small business collaborations, etc) and donating all profits to charitable organizations ($1900 so far!)
hosting programs for youth to learn about social justice and volunteer in the art realm
creating informational social media posts
collaborating with non profits and small businesses to host events
teaching grant writing and youth organizing skills
