SFS X MCM UPCYCLING PROJECT

second chance's first project. this marked our first partnership with MCM and Seoul Foreign School. We received over 1000 defective products, which we were able to upcycle through partnering with SFS and their art department from all 4 sectors of the school. we sold these upcycled products and were able to raise +$10,000 which was all donated to three organizations: a childcare facility center in Songpa-gu called the Bright Future Childcare Center, Sungjoo Foundation for Women's Education, and SFS.

BRIGHT FUTURE MULTICULRAL CHILDCARE CENTER VOLUNTEERING

second chance runs the BRIGHT FUTURE MULTICULTURAL CHILDCARE CENTER VOLUNTEER RUNS every 2 weeks, where volunteers of all ages are able to help tutor multicultural children across South Korea. These tutoring sessions often revolve around creativity and art, teaching young children the process of upcycling and achieving our mission statement. we also tutor math and english to these children as requested by the organizers of the childcare center.
