Crochet For Kids is a youth volunteer program that allows teenagers (13-18 years old) to create interactive and intentional crochet guides for children (6-12 years old). These guides will be sold with both digital and physical versions with all profits going to a charity of the volunteer's choice!
Crochet promotes a positive hobby for children to adopt. It offers a recreational activity that also requires exercising of one's brain. Therefore, by creating these guides, teens are working together to further spread their love for crochet!
To participate in this program, participants must be teens that are experienced at crochet.
