Lead a community engagement campaign to drive systemic change in the fashion industry
In partnership with Fordham University’s Responsible Business Coalition, the Wear it Wise Sustainable Fashion Initiative leverages the people power of the Net Impact Chapter network to educate consumers about the impacts of the their clothing while driving sustainable change in the fashion industry.
As part of the program, selected Net Impact Chapters will design and implement an 8-week engagement campaign to educate their community about the global and local impacts of the fashion industry, how consumers can have an impact, and how the fashion industry as a whole, is responding to drive systemic change. Upon completion of the Wear it Wise campaign, chapters will submit a final Impact Report that illustrates the impact they had in their community, including what events they held, how many people were reached, both digitally and in-person, and key insights and takeaways.
