Hiring Youth to Build Cardborigamis

Thank you so much for supporting Cardborigami with your monetary donation in recent years. We have just launched a specific campaign that I want to share with you.

As you know, we are actively working on applying our shelter product towards relieving the lack of emergency shelter for the homeless in LA. As part of our mission, we have partnered with New Earth Arts & Leadership Center, a fellow local nonprofit that educates and engages justice-involved youth aged 13-25, to temporarily hire their students in the manual assembly of our shelters. Participating students learn and practice invaluable teamwork skills in these collective builds, along with improving their communications and design thinking. We successfully piloted this partnership over 4 months in 2018under public funding which has since disappeared.

In order to embed this partnership under New Earth's ongoing vocational program, we need your support to kickstart our funding for the market-rate compensation that students earn.
