Presentations

We enjoy going out into the community and doing presentations to tell everyone about who we are and what we do at the North Florida Sewing Center.  We also can do a presentation for your group at the center as part of a hands-on service experience.  

We are available to host a table at your event. Our interns love to interact with the community by providing information and answering questions about our reusable pads, quilt-making, sustainability, and volunteering.  We distribute our pads at no cost thanks to our sponsors and donors. . 

Our presentations can be offered in English or Spanish. 

To schedule an inspirational presentation, please email nfsewingcenter@gmail.com. 

Some examples of presentations:

·      Overview of the Current Work Done by North Florida Sewing Center Volunteers

·      The Journey of How we got Started and Where North Florida Sewing Center is Heading

·      Hands-On Opportunity for your group at North Florida Sewing Center includes

a brief overview of our work

·      Presentations for Children and Teens (grades 6-12) with emphasis on menstruation and puberty

·       Senior Ladies presentation emphasizes information about incontinence

Our presentations usually include an option to try our washable pads (for menstruation, incontinence, post-partum, etc).  This is based on whether or not we have sponsored pads to give out at no cost.

Examples of Groups:

·        Places of Worship

·        Service Groups and Clubs

·        Sororities or Fraternities

·        Student Groups

·        Sustainability Events

·        Volunteer Fairs

·        Community Yard Sales

·        Shelters (homeless, domestic violence)

·        Assisted Living or Senior Centers

·        Youth Programs

 Another option that is available to nonprofit or government groups, is that they can request up to 20 of our sample bags which contain one holder and two inserts along with instructions on how to use the washable pads.  These are given out  for free by our partners to encourage their participants to try reusable items to save money, reduce trash, increase comfort, and increase peace of mind.  The sample bags invite the participants to reach out to North Florida Sewing Center if they wish to receive a full set or menstrual cup, volunteer or try some of our classes.

To request the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to fill out to receive these samples, email nfsewingcenter@gmail.com.
