Saving Soles by AK Nonprofit
SS is one of the most unique non-profits geared exclusively to giving back to the youth. Saving Soles represents students all over the US by sharing our knowledge and creativity. We are able to successfully tap in with students on exactly what they need to move forward. School readiness, art, mental health, and of course, sneakers. We are inspiring and helping students figure out their career paths through sneakers. Our sneaker programs have been able to provide students the steps to the next level in their lives.
Projects
Sneaker Labs provide the opportunity to release your creative side and open a conversation with our next generation. It’s the opportunity for us to dig deep and come together, in a group setting, to talk about anything. We address their daily concerns, mental health, school readiness and their intro to adulthood all while creating custom sneakers.
Sneaker Mental takes a group of young ladies and men to a local sneaker store to talk about mental health. We create custom shoes based on a specific mental health topic. At the Sneaker Mental sneaker labs, we have a variety of mentors, Doctors and mental health advisors come in to speak with the students. It’s a day to come out to design and to create peace of mind.
Want CustomsByAK at your school?! Let us come out and show students what the business is about and give them & their teachers a chance to experience the life of a shoe designer. Students will be able to create a custom shoe in person or virtual and pitch their design to a celebrity guest!
