We bring cutting edge creative programming to public and private schools across NYC! Currently, we are proud to partner with schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, with students ranging all ages from ages K-12.
In CIFA afterschool programs, kids can learn to design and sequence a project, hand stitch, and even use a sewing machine, while developing resilience, mastery, and self expression! Sewing hones fine motor skills while providing a uniquely creative opportunity to apply interdisciplinary skills such as critical thinking, math, art, and engineering.
Afterschool Programs
A Space for Creativity
In the afterschool environment, kids benefit from structure while getting to exercise freedom and initiative. Learn to sew with expert teachers and everything you need!
More than Fashion
Teachers choose interdisciplinary projects that engage students' existing passions for design, storytelling, gaming, and science!
Materials & Sustainability
We partner with Materials for the Arts and strive to use recycled materials materials whenever available, to reduce both programming costs and eco impact.
