The Nicholas Center project supports California fire relief efforts

Driven by a desire to help neighbors in need, Kyle, an artist and participant at The Nicholas Center (TNC) in Port Washington, created a t-shirt design that raised over $1,000 toward Los Angeles fire relief efforts.

The funds will be donated to a Southern California nonprofit which offers support and resources to special needs populations in underserved communities affected by the fires.

“As a person-centered program, this project speaks to the heart of what we do at TNC – to draw upon the interests and skills of our participants while offering meaningful vocational experiences,” said Boris Yagudayev, supervisor of TNC Vocational Services. “Using [Kyle’s] design, we created an apparel project offering valuable job training for our participants, who assisted with apparel orders, heat pressing, packaging, sales and more.” 

The Nicholas Center has partnered with The Art Guild to offer this special art experience.
