2026 Wayfinder Society Student Mini-Grant Awardee: Sophia Mann

Sophia leads a project that tackles textile waste by upcycling discarded clothing into durable dog beds. After months of testing, she developed a method to transform spent textiles into firm, functional stuffing. Through a school-wide clothing drive and hands-on workshop, Sophia’s project teaches students about the links between fast fashion, plastic pollution, and waste while turning unusable fabrics into dog beds donated to local animal shelters.

Our annual Student Mini-Grant supports students ages 11–25 from around the world who are working to address the plastic crisis. Grants provide funding for school and community projects, personal learning opportunities, networking events, and other student-led initiatives.
This year, we supported 10 inspiring awardees from across the globe who are taking action, building community, and creating meaningful change in their schools and communities.
