About the Project
The Uni Library’s student-run crafting studio is a vibrant, inclusive space where students lead and teach creative skills such as crocheting, sewing, jewelry making, and weaving. Open before school, during lunch, and after school, the studio operates as a self-sustaining hub where students organize workshops, share knowledge, and collaborate across grade levels and learning needs. The program promotes student agency, equity, and leadership by creating a welcoming environment that includes both general and special education students. This grant provides the resources necessary to sustain and grow the program, supporting student creativity, collaboration, and lifelong skill development.
