Here at Original Works, we develop and implement fun, creative, profitable fundraising programs for schools and related organizations, using the student body’s own artwork. Because what parent doesn’t want to purchase a mug, t-shirt, magnet and more featuring his or her own child’s work of art? It’s that desire to showcase a child’s creativity that inspired founder Carol Newlin to start Original Works in 1989, and it continues to drive the company today.
We truly love what we do, and we are always looking for other people with a passion for children, art and education to join the Original Works team. If that describes you, here are five more reasons you should consider a career with Original Works.
1. Make a Positive Impact
Original Works places an emphasis on student accomplishment and self-esteem. We literally make children and families smile every day, and the schools and organizations that participate in our fundraising programs are thrilled with the money they earn. It’s truly rewarding to know that what we do is helping so many.
