New initiative equips students in grades 6–12 with hands-on skills in custom apparel production, branding, and small-business development
RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, January 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fabric Futures, a youth-centered apparel and entrepreneurship program, officially launches its first full pilot cohort on February 1, 2026, in the Richmond, Virginia, area in partnership with schools and youth-serving organizations.Designed to empower young people through creativity and practical business education, Fabric Futures equips students with hands-on, real-world skills in custom apparel production, branding, and small-business development. Students learn to design, create, market, and sell products, building confidence, responsibility, character, and financial literacy along the way.
With a focus on Title I and underserved school communities, Fabric Futures bridges the gap between traditional education and practical career readiness by teaching students to create, brand, and monetize physical products and to develop income-generating skills that translate beyond the classroom.
“Fabric Futures is about more than apparel,” said Tiffany Harris, Founder and Program Director. “It’s about helping youth discover their talents, strengthen their character, and take pride in bringing something meaningful to life, working from start to finish. My mission is simple but bold: prepare the next generation to build, not just consume.”
