Levi’s Wear Longer Project is a “community engagement initiative designed to help young people take fashion into their own hands. The program will equip them with the skills and confidence to repair, refresh, and reimagine their clothes—so they look better and last longer.”
“Developed in partnership with global edtech leader Discovery Education and aligned with national K-12 education standards, the program teaches young people hands-on life skills such as how to repair and customize their clothes, from sewing a button to patching a hole or tailoring a hem.”
Discovery Education is an educational platform for learning resources for K-12 students, educators and schools.
Introduced in January 2026, the Wear Longer Project will continue to develop and publish resources, including videos to accompany the lessons linked above.
