Sustainable fashion refers to the practice of designing, producing, and consuming clothing in ways that minimize environmental impact and promote social responsibility. This movement emphasizes the use of eco-friendly materials, ethical labor practices, and circular fashion concepts, such as thrifting and upcycling. High school students are at the forefront of this trend, actively making choices that reflect their commitment to the planet. From organizing clothing swaps to supporting brands that prioritize sustainability, these young fashion advocates are transforming the way we think about style, encouraging their peers to embrace eco-conscious practices and create a positive impact on the environment.

Our Goal
Your donation will support the SacSchoolBeat student journalists who are part of the Sacramento County Student Education Reporter program. Your contribution will allow us to work with more student journalists to cover education on campuses and in school districts in the Sacramento region. SacSchoolBeat's primary funder, the Sacramento County Office of Education, ended its participation in the program at the end of the 2024-25 school year, and SacSchoolBeat almost closed in June. But a timely mini-grant from the Sacramento Press Club allowed us to conduct our summer training and continue the program at least through the end of the fall semester.
