Fashion Design Project Needs Interns

Save to Favorites

Young Mothers Inc is proud to announce a new Fashion Project. We have partnered with Kodom Style to connect two worlds; volunteerism with fashion. Kodom Style wants interns with all types of fashion backgrounds to be able to give back to their community and also have an opportunity to grow in their fields. This project is the beginning of change.
We want to put volunteers in this fashion project to advance their talents and be a part of a cause that nurtures ideas and artistic performance. The idea is to put together a Fashion Design team to create innovative ideas and put together all kinds of events to showcase their talents and potentially get them discovered in this industry. This team will be creative, work well with others, fun and have experience in fashion design or merchandising.

Please have some experience and a portfolio to show upon interview selection. This project is looking to move quickly; only passionate candidates need to apply.
