Team Knitters

Nice to meet you! We are Team Knitters, an interdisciplinary team of students in York University’s Cross-Campus Capstone Classroom (C4).

Who Are We?

We each come from different fields of study, with different passions and extracurricular experiences, yet we are united by a shared goal of encouraging food security and community wellbeing. Our diverse backgrounds and skill sets allow us to combine our unique perspectives to generate creative and holistic solutions to real-world issues.

 

Through our collaboration with members of the Woburn community, we have seen firsthand the powerful impact that can be made when a diverse group of people come together to pursue social change.
