Hello Creative Supporters, Sponsors, Mentors + Parents, welcome to our Community Fundraiser!
What's FWFA?
Fashion With Friday Academy (FWFA), is an independent fashion + entrepreneurship academy that provides experiential & educational workshops for Creative Scholars (ages 9-15) who display a high potential for creative excellence with a deep curiosity for the world of entrepreneurship.
FWFA connects Creative Scholars to their future career goals and interests through engaging workshops and experiential lesson plans that pertain to ownership/entrepreneurship, creative critical thinking, brand building, unconventional fashion design and peer collaboration.
For 8+ years, we've had the opportunity to teach, mentor + support over 100+ Creative Scholars, who are on track to be the next generation of entrepreneurs, creative leaders, thinkers & collaborators in NYC. We've also had the opportunity to do the same, virtually, with out-of-state Creative Scholars who are located in places like California, Georgia, Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and more.
Together we've explored numerous avenues of the fashion industry via experiential workshops including:
-
Luxury Showroom Workshop: Hermes of Paris Showroom
-
Photoshoot Production Workshop: Sponsored by Holyrad Studio
-
Sneaker Business Pitch Workshop: Foot Locker HQ
-
Hair Me Roar Virtual Workshop: Sponsored by Baby Tress + Nappy Head Club
-
AirMax Design Workshop: Sponsored by NIKE + MEFeater Magazine

Our Goals + Intentions for Summer 2023
We’re currently preparing for the return of our Academy’s signature In-person Summer Workshop (after 4 long years), scheduled for July 2023.
