Design for Good

(re)group | Breakthrough

(re)group’s initiative (re)fortify was created to widen the breadth of possibilities for children’s futures and to benefit their community. Kids ages 9-11 participating in Breakthrough’s after school program are connected to the architectural and design profession through a 5-week series of workshops, culminating in the design of their own fort. At the end of the workshops, the kids are paired with professional design teams to execute and build their concepts using clothing, bedding and building materials. The collected clothing and materials are then donated to benefit Breakthrough’s mission.
