In 2024, The Sewing Labs community has sewn a tapestry of hope, creativity, and transformation. Check out what we have planned for 2025!
In 2024, we reached new heights by receiving approval to expand our Registered Apprenticeship Program into Kansas, opening doors for even more aspiring sewing professionals. Our partnerships and services continue to grow, bringing innovative community projects and support to those in need. We completed our first-ever external audit and finalized a strategic plan, both of which will guide us as we expand our programs to serve even more individuals in the coming year.
