Bio

I am a 21 year old recent graduate of the Music Business program at New York University. Currently, I am self-employed as a freelance event coordinator, also working part-time in the box office for various Live Nation New York venues, most often The Fillmore at Irving Plaza. Threads That Teach is my non-paid full-time job, which I thoroughly enjoy working on and have learned a lot from thus far. I approach each day with an open mind and positive attitude because I view every morning I wake up as a blessing and new opportunity to live and learn.

Goals

  • I launched a venture in the last 12 months and could use help
  • I have started a venture and want to share insights

Interests

Arts and Culture, Business, Children, Education, Music, Technology

Guestbook

Welcome to my personal Genv page! My name is Patricia and I am the Co-Founder of Threads That Teach. Our mission is to help provide public schools with a means to raise additional funds for their arts programs, which are continuing to lose funding from the government. Our staff works directly with young arts students in New York City during the school day to create an apparel line that reflects their creativity and passion for the arts. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales are then put directly back into the respective school's arts programming. Thanks for taking the time to view my page and I hope that you will write with suggestions or inquiries on how you can become a part of the Threads That Teach team.

Hi Patricia,

I think your team is truly a inspiration! So what kind of t-shirts do you guys sale? How's Threads That Teach lately?

P.S. Would you be interested in being a volunteer staff for our upcoming event? There will be food, music and all kinds of fun! You can email me at linlin@chairadvocates.org. Please let me know by feb. 9 so I can send you all the details.

Rock! I love that not only does your team help kids access art education and opportunities, but it takes it the next step by making it hands on and personal. I'd love to see some pictures of your guys' designs :)

Hi and welcome to genv.net!! Threads that Teach sounds amazing... keep up the great work!
How would you like to share your experiences?? I'm sure all venturers could gain valuable knowledge from what you have accomplished.
