Clothing Swap With Purpose

Win a chance to have Melbourne City’s community support your school’s sustainable fundraising efforts

We are looking for ONE lucky secondary or tertiary school to take part in “re-generation youth festival 2022” as their clothing swap host with all funds raised going towards funding your school to take part in A Fitting Connections Fundraising with Purpose program.

While doing this we engage the community as volunteers or as customers by purchasing the products made from the waste. The program has been designed in such a way that it promotes and positively effects

• Mental health and emotional wellbeing

• Social connections

• Develop confidence

• Promote leadership opportunities

It does this by cultivating the students and the local community with a common goal. It provides all involved with a sense of belonging and a social connectedness which offers extra meaning and purpose. The program has been structured to support young people to build on their own ideas, and take on responsibilities that cultivate leadership opportunities while embracing, learning, and working with volunteers.
