Afterschool Programs

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.

Kids & parents say:

The CIFA after school program has given my daughter an incredible amount of confidence in her sewing abilities. The patient and encouraging instructors do an amazing job connecting with the students, and instruct them in a non-perfectionist manner, which children really need in order to not be intimidated.
