A youth fashion + sewing experience where teens design a branded denim drawstring backpack or denim tote, then use Kids In Suits money talks to learn how to price it, budget their cash, and start building real-world wealth habits.
For 7th–12th Grade Students (Ages 12-18. If 18 years old, then a high school ID is required).
This is a two-day (June 23 & June 25) Workshop lab blending fashion, sewing, and money smarts in one intimate, high-support day. Youth and
teens learns sewing skills in an EcoStitch studio, then learn how to price their work, budget their costs, and think like young entrepreneurs. They’ll also learn practical money, saving, and financial tips through New York Life’s Money Talks SMRU# 502058 “Kids In Suits” program.
The Money Mindset session is led by Demitrius Skinner, Agent — New York Life Insurance Co.
