01. The Oliver Hill Project
Circle of Creators is dedicated to fostering a therapeutic environment through the power of creativity, fashion, and art. Through the Oliver Hill Project, we partnered with the Oliver Hill Detention Center in Richmond to engage youth in a unique, hands-on learning experience focused on marketing, screen printing, and fashion design.
Youth from across the city collaborated to design and produce three original T-shirt concepts, marking the first fashion design initiative to emerge from a juvenile detention center in Virginia. Participants learned branding fundamentals, hands-on screen-printing techniques, and the basics of turning a creative idea into a tangible product.
This project provided a constructive outlet for emotional expression while equipping youth with valuable, transferable skills that support re-entry and personal growth. The merchandise created through this initiative represents more than fashion — it symbolizes creativity, resilience, and the belief that every young person has the capacity to build a brighter future.
