CurvfectCrew

Degrees and Curves, Inc. is an organization focused on supporting underrepresented young people living with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), an irregular sideways curvature of the spine with no known cause or cure. Its mission is to help youth and their families navigate the scoliosis experience and grow into confident, thriving individuals. The organization recognizes that AIS can affect more than physical mobility, influencing mental health, body image, and social experiences, particularly for teens who lack support and relatable information.

Degrees and Curves provides educational resources, content, and coaching for young people with AIS and their parents. Its programming includes the Curvfect Crew, an animated group of friends whose different experiences are designed to help teens and young adults find relatable stories at various stages of adolescence. The Curvfect Crew website is presented as a safe, inclusive space for underrepresented youth. The organization also invites supporters to donate or volunteer, helping it create relevant content, develop training and support resources, raise funds, and reach Black, brown, and LGBTQ youth.
