Fits
Community Fits, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is dedicated to positively impacting the lives of marginalized youth in the Bay Area. Our unique approach combines providing essential resources with engaging community projects that address diverse needs. We stand out through our commitment to empowering youth through creative outlets, particularly in the realm of fashion. By offering skill-building opportunities, our programs enable young individuals to explore their creativity, learn valuable fashion-related skills, and open doors to new opportunities. Additionally, we emphasize overall wellness and emotional intelligence, approaching programs from a trauma-informed lens. Our organization is rooted in evidence-based practices, leveraging research and best practices to inform our programs and interventions. We hope to change the narrative around mental health and foster a supportive community for marginalized youth to thrive.
