After School Matters is an organization that provides after-school and summer programs for about 19,000 high school students each year. The Changemaker grant will give 16 fashion programs to 250 students this year. The programs will help students learn technical skills such as sewing, illustration, as well as garment design and construction, according to Gucci.
Braven is a national nonprofit that helps prepare college students for employment. The grant from Gucci will help 70 first-generation students develop fashion and networking skills. This also extends to people of color and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
