Forever 18 Closet

Traditional Language and Storytelling Classes

Mending Relationships In Communities

The Forever 18 Closet is more than a place to find an outfit—it’s a space created to uplift, empower, and remove barriers so every young person can experience life’s special moments with confidence. 


Forever 18 Closet was created to honor the memory of Taylor Harris, who tragically lost her life at just 18 years old. Taylor loved all things that sparkled and enjoyed helping her friends feel beautiful for special moments like prom. Inspired by her spirit, this program ensures every teen has the opportunity to shine.
