Young people beat the odds to launch local screen printing business
21 May 2008
A group of young people grappling with unemployment, insecure housing and other complex issues have overcome the odds to launch a silkscreen printing business in North Fitzroy.
Print Side Up - a social enterprise nurtured by welfare agency Melbourne Citymission with financial support from the Brumby Government - opens for business this week at Melbourne Citymission's Slingshot Community Enterprise and Employment Centre (SCEEC) in Church Street.
The group of young workers can design, supply and print T-shirts, hoodies, patches, bags and any apparel, and is keen to secure orders from local businesses, bands, community groups, as well as personal shoppers.
