Target Audience: Ages 12-18

Coastal communities around the world share the most risk from climate change.  For coastal communities of color, this risk has already become real.  This engaging, hands-on course explores climate change, social justice, sustainability, and their interrelationship through a dynamic afterschool/summer program using apparel, one of the most powerful social drivers and status symbols for children/adolescents as a vehicle.  Students will join Pro soccer players Jasmyne (Jas) Spencer and savannah mccaskill to lead a pivot that turns clothes into a force for good. 

​

Learn how clothes are made, meet the people who make them, understand the social and environmental impacts of our clothes, and how we can transform them to become a critical part of the #ClimateComeback. Students then use this knowledge to extend the life of unworn clothes by participating in a clothing swap and creating their own Susty Game Day Fits in a Susty Fashion Workshop.  The program will conclude with students showcasing their Fits own fits at their very own sustainable fashion show.
