🌍 At SHEIN, we recognise the transformative power of youth worldwide. In celebration of International Youth Day, here are some highlights of our work to help the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers reach their full potential, as part of our commitment to support the holistic development of our youth.
US: In 2023, SHEIN embarked on a multi-year collaboration with Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis, supporting their mission to empower girls from ages 6-24 by offering impactful programmes focused on education, healthy self, advocacy, and leadership development. This year, SHEIN continued to support Girls Inc. Indianapolis with initiatives like career exploration sessions and STEM summer camps, to inspire and educate the participants about careers and challenges in the fashion industry through mentoring and hands-on activities.
Singapore: In 2023, SHEIN announced a two-year collaboration with Access Singapore to sponsor the inaugural Access Fellowship Programme (AFP). The AFP was launched in May 2024, and is a comprehensive six-month programme that provides bursary beneficiaries from Institutes of Higher Learning with mentorship and developmental opportunities to build career readiness.
Mexico: Earlier this year, SHEIN embarked on an exciting collaboration with Universidad Anáhuac Mexico Norte – the “SHEIN X UniDesign” project challenged 15 fashion design students to showcase their creativity and blend global market trends with local culture. Winners were awarded scholarships from SHEIN, and the opportunity to be part of the SHEIN X Designer Incubator programme.
Poland: In June, SHEIN signed an agreement with the Wroclaw Children and Youth Development and Activity Centres, which provides day care for children of different social backgrounds. SHEIN’s financial support will go towards organising day camps and an education trip for about 100 of the centres’ children during their summer holidays, providing a fun environment for them to develop soft skills and social competencies.
Dubai: In April, as part of SHEIN’s annual “Powered by Love” campaign to support Autism Awareness Month, SHEIN partnered with the Dubai Autism Center to organise a family event, where over 200 children participated in art workshops and took part in interactive games. SHEIN also pledged a portion of proceeds from the sale of an exclusive SHEIN X Warner Brothers clothing collection to the Dubai Autism Centre.
We’re inspired by the passion and potential of today’s youth and look forward to seeing them shape the world.
