The Collective
Our Chamba Collective is an ever-growing group of participants that are passionate and motivated to take their talents to the public.
See some of our entrepreneurial stories below.
Gabriel at Gabe’s Goods
After exploring his path following his post-transition program, Gabe tapped into his family’s entrepreneurial roots to launch a small business focused on creating branded merchandise for other businesses. His customers include: Moonlite Chocolate, Girl Scouts Coyote Hills Service Unit, Inclusive Therapies, & Aspire Neuropsychological Services.
Jordan at For Original Minds
Jordan entered the program determined to launch his own apparel brand. Along the way, he discovered that the physical demands of production posed some challenges for him. With the guidance of Chamba staff, he shifted focus to his true passion—design. He is now exploring partnerships and outsourcing options, turning his vision into reality while embracing a sustainable and accessible business model.
Tyler at Tyler’s Treasures
A lifelong tv and cartoon fan with a dream of becoming an animator, Tyler is now bringing his imagination to life by designing theme park-inspired home décor. With the support of Chamba staff, he is learning to use the 3D printer and laser cutter, with equipment modifications tailored to his mobility needs. His independence and creativity continue to grow as he builds skills in product creation and design.
Abraham, Author of Mariam and the White Moon
Abraham wrote a heartfelt book to honor his mother. His book, now self-published, is a meaningful tribute and a source of inspiration for others. As he prepares to share his story through public readings, he is learning to create custom merchandise—including stickers, buttons, and 3D-printed moons—to sell at his events, building both confidence and entrepreneurial skills.
