Wings Initiative is a student sustainability organization centered around a unique process of turning clothing/book drives into high school social media movements—acting as an intermediary between families and charity projects. Through such efforts, Wings Initiative aims to fight fast fashion, ingrain sustainability practices into high school culture, and help support those in need.

Mission

Our Origin Story

The Wings Initiative process was developed by Charlie Benjamin at Phillips Academy Andover in 2021 as a way to tap into the pervasive sentiment that donating old clothes is simply too inconvenient. Since then, we have replicated our process at 10 schools across the world and widened our collection criteria.
