We challenge middle and high school students to transform discarded materials into extraordinary works of wearable art-and now, to use documentary storytelling to bring their ideas and perspectives to life. In the process, they build confidence, resilience, creativity, and critical-thinking skills while discovering the power of their own voices. Their work inspires the community to rethink waste, embrace possibility, and imagine what can happen when young people are empowered to think big, create boldly, and drive change. We turn waste into wonder-but more importantly, we turn possibility into action. We also have an elementary school program for our up-and-coming designers who are not old enough to participate in the full program. February 2026 Show - the culmination of 3 months of workshops participated in by 54 students, incl 22 elementary age, 15 middle school, and 17 high school students. The workshops incl creating the students' garments, participating in extra workshops such as "strength under stress" held by a youth therapist, a "stage presence" workshop hosted by Boulder Ballet and BETC, and "Storytelling through shape, colors & textures". The show is witnessed in person by an in-person audience 1,100 plus YouTube views. Our goal is to build a community of designers, artists, mentors, volunteers and audience who are invested in turning waste into wonder, stories into power, and imagination into change. Our program unlocks the resilience, confidence, and ingenuity to ensure our next general, and the broader community, are inspired to think big, be empowered and act boldly to drive change. 104758 92789 92789 Catherine Winsten Board President 5.00 0 0 0 Rebecca Cole Board Vice President 3.00 0 0 0 Beth Armstrong Board Member 1.00 0 0 0 Tanja Leonard Secretary/Treasurer/Exec Director 12.00 18170 0 false false false false false false false false false Tanja Leonard 2707 Spruce Street Boulder CO 80302 2144373335 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 22500 36960 37885 46025 62005 205375 28864 28612 33263 37679 43381 171799 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 51364 65572 71148 83704 105386 377174 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 377174 76 81 157 0 0 0 0 76 81 157 0 0 51364 65572 71148 83780 105467 377331 0.99960 0.99970 0.00040 0.00030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, Line 10 Trash the Runway gives a grant in varying amounts to the Boulder County Child and Family Advocacy Program, dba Blue Sky Bridge.
