UK-Based Street Style Surgery Runs Creative Programs for Youth

Based in the United Kingdom, Street Style Surgery (SSS) is a social enterprise that offers workshops for youth in a variety of energizing fields including dance, filmmaking, music production and fashion design. The goal is for the young people to build self-confidence through learning—some formal and some not—and entrepreneurship. SSS was founded by Sissy Rooney whose background is in the fashion industry, where she worked at Bench and Hooch.

SSS is suitable for a range of activities and people including community days, intergenerational projects, after-school workshops, young offenders institutions and children’s parties. Their website illuminates the bigger picture behind their quotidian activities: “Every day [SSS] show[s] young people from often troubled backgrounds that creativity can open doors to a better life -– and even lead to a fulfilling career.”
