My Brother’s Workshop (MBW), a beacon of hope and empowerment for individuals seeking workforce development, is thrilled to announce the launch of a new Sewing and Art Program through a grant from the Foxwynd Foundation.
Business owners in the community have expressed their need for employees in the sewing sector and MBW is happy to be able to respond to this call with two new programs. This initiative is designed to provide both vocational training and therapeutic benefits, catering to the diverse needs of the community.
The program aims to foster personal growth, enhance employability and promote mental well-being by integrating practical skills with creative expression.
