Stories from the 'Hood

Once a week six young women, ages 10-18, meet to develop a jewelry business. Good News Jewelry Designers, the official business name, was created to provide an artistic outlet for our highly energetic and creative students. Each Wednesday they meet for two hours to plan, design and create jewelry. Lately that has turned into three-hour-meetings because of their enthusiasm for their creations! Not only does the new business give these young women an opportunity to make beautiful jewelry, but it also provides real-life business experience. They are exploring topics such as budgeting, marketing and investing.

Each designer brings a unique style to the table. While Kaya has an eye for elegant-looking jewelry, Patricia delights in creating jewelry that reminds her of dragons, and Karen enjoys using bright colors. Good News Jewelry Designers will showcase their custom made jewelry on the website. If your church is interested in selling their designs at your Church Bazaar or Holiday Boutique, please contact Natalie@goodnewspartners.org.
