Please help fund our new Art and Sewing Programs
My Brother's Workshop (MBW), a beacon of hope and empowerment for individuals with barriers to employment, is thrilled to announce the launch of a new Sewing and Art Program. This initiative is designed to provide both vocational training and therapeutic benefits, catering to the diverse needs of our community. The program aims to foster personal growth, enhance employability, and promote mental well-being by integrating practical skills with creative expression.
The Sewing and Art Program at My Brother's Workshop represents a vital step forward in our mission to empower individuals and transform lives. By combining vocational training with therapeutic art practices, we are broadening our holistic approach that addresses both professional development and personal well-being. We look forward to witnessing the growth, creativity, and success of our participants as we introduce this new program.
MBW humbly asks for your consideration of a monetary donation this giving season.
Through the support of our private and corporate donors, our holistic program can provide education, mentoring, counseling, on-the-job training, and job placement to young men and women in the USVI. With your generosity, we will continue to offer each trainee in our program individualized vocational training along with our wrap-around services. On average, a trainee in our program spends 9-12 months at MBW with an individualized path of training.
Your support will help young men and women in the USVI find purpose and passion.
