Our Mission

“Our Mission is to cultivate a space that provides the youth with sustainable opportunities in both fashion and media.”

Did you know that more than 25% of New York City public schools consist of youth living in shelters and Public housing? And of that percentage, there are youth that are struggling with the confidence to perform well in school due to their appearance and lack of resources.

Every child should have access to sustainable living and resources to help inspire self expression. At Yadestiny Treasure Chest, over the last 12 years we have been able to provide the youth with confidence, leadership skills, hard work and a sense of purpose through clothing distributions, mentorship and Partner opportunities.

Donate

With your contribution, you will help continue our focus on cultivating key skills that give the youth the ability to build sustainable brands for themselves. As well as, help inspire them to become leaders in their communities.

Success Story

An Example of what it means to be a YTC donor is that you would help youth like our former beneficiary Charisma Wright. Charisma was a 12 year old female, living in the St. John’s family center (shelter) in Crown heights with her Mother, Pamela and 2 younger siblings. Her mother enrolled Charisma in YTC’s Fit For Fashion Program (Now known as Treasure of Tomorrow) and after 1 month in the program her mother noticed a change in Charisma. Charisma went from being a shy, anti-social young girl to becoming more confident and wanting to participate in the activities and walk in 2 fashion shows with Fashion Week Brooklyn. After 1 year in the program, Charisma graduated from Junior high and was accepted into a Fashion High School. This is the kind of change you would make.
