Power of One For All is an Education Non-Profit Organization founded in 2017 to benefit the students of The High School of Fashion Industries in Chelsea, New York City.
Founded by Rosa Chavez Gaffney, a Career and Technical Ed. Fashion Design teacher and proud alumnus of the class of 1992.
She initially founded the non-profit to strictly benefit financially challenged students at her alma mater, just as she once was, but after being involuntarily reassigned and removed from HSFI, has pivoted to serving all financially challenged inner city high school students.
She was responsible for starting the study abroad program in 2012 that sent over 95 NYC high school students to Florence, Italy. This collaboration that afforded high school students scholarships to earn college credit bearing experiences ended in 2022.
In 2022 we chose to close all existing programs and concentrate on alleviating the small financial gaps many high school students face by awarding gift cards to promising scholars.
It may sound small, but for a struggling teen, this can mean the world, just as it did for Ms. Chavez, when she was a teen.
