Born to Break Cycles: Youth-Designed T-Shirts
Created by Youth, Inspired by Change
Our Break the Cycle t-shirts were designed through a youth-led competition at Youth Empowerment. Participants were challenged to create a design that symbolizes breaking generational cycles, overcoming adversity, and building brighter futures.
After weeks of brainstorming, sketching, and refining, one powerful design was chosen — representing the strength and unity of our youth community.
Every purchase supports our programs for justice-impacted youth and young adults in City Heights.
In Partnership with Cherry Willow Apparel
Youth Empowerment is proud to partner with Cherry Willow, a local apparel company dedicated to creating purpose-driven fashion. Together, we brought the Break the Cycle design to life — ensuring each shirt is ethically produced, high quality, and made with heart.
This collaboration bridges creativity and social impact, giving youth the opportunity to see their ideas transformed into a professional, wearable statement of empowerment.
Cherry Willow shares our mission to uplift local voices and promote healing through art, design, and entrepreneurship.
