Opportunity Details
A Community Stitched with Love - Sustainable Fashion Workshop
Volunteer with Breathe Southern California to help transform scraps into clothes for those in need.
Why: Every year, millions of tons of textiles end up in landfills, contributing to pollution that affects air quality in communities like ours. When we repair and upcycle instead of throwing away, we’re taking direct action for environmental justice and public health. We’ve grown used to throwing things away—clothes, objects, even moments—instead of cherishing them.
Who: Breathe Southern California's Misson is to Promote Clean Air and Healthy Lungs through Research, Education and Technology
What to Expect:
- Learn repair techniques and upcycling methods while transforming fabric scraps into functional pieces.
- Connect with like-minded community members and volunteer to create harvest tote bags from donated denim, leaving pieces of yourself for others to appreciate!
- We’ll provide all tools and materials.
What's Required:
- Old clothes or fabric items you’d like to repair.
- A pair of jeans you’d like to donate, if possible, or fabric you would like to upcycle.
- No prior experience is required.
- Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, and sun protection. Our event is family friendly, and all ages are welcome.
