THE7FDN
The 7 Foundation (THE7FDN) is dedicated to offering innovative youth development initiatives aimed at fostering skills and fostering a contemporary learning environment for our students. Through THE7FDN, participants engage in College & Career Skills Workshops, with one senior student each year having the opportunity to earn a $1000 scholarship for their chosen school. Complementing these workshops are mentorship and internship programs, led by trained facilitators, aimed at providing a holistic educational experience beyond the classroom. We firmly believe that education encompasses both formal learning and real-life experiences. Our mentorship program directly links students with 7XCHANGE's internal staff, offering valuable insights into various career paths, from design to operations. Our goal is to broaden students' horizons by guiding them and nurturing their interests. Additionally, THE7FDN scholars gain hands-on experience in the fashion industry by working in 7XCHANGE's retail stores, headquarters, or alongside their mentors. Each internship is carefully crafted to help students explore their passions and develop practical skills.
The Mission
Driven by the aspiration to enact social transformation, THE7FDN is committed to fostering positive change across three fundamental pillars: Education, Community, and Social Impact.

Community
In our pursuit of social change, we dedicate ourselves to making a positive impact within the community, fostering significant and enduring change through acts of kindness and compassion. Our engagement with the community aims not only to improve the lives of those in need but also to enrich the experiences of volunteers who offer their support.
Social Impact
We hold a strong belief in contributing our time, skills, and resources to uplift historically marginalized communities, empowering them to progress positively. While acknowledging that change is a gradual process, we recognize the importance of taking the initial steps. Through thoughtfully designed initiatives and partnerships. We strive to promote social equity for all individuals, fostering volunteerism as a means to address them.
