Sabrina has served as a designer, facilitator, and writer for SACLAW or Social Action & Community Leadership Arts Workshop.
The program aims to empower youth artists and grassroots leaders for creative and organized responses to the climate crisis. In July 2021, a partnership with Ecommune PH allowed the children of Iloilo farmers to attend SACLAW for free.
In October 2022, funding from International Teaching Artist Collaborative transformed SACLAW into a 3-day immersive arts camp, attended by educators, activists, and community leaders.
SACLAW

Sabrina was a co-designer and facilitator for SPASYO: Women and SPASYO: Couples. This program was Black Canvas' bi-weekly effort to facilitate affinity spaces for women, queers, singles, couples living together, and couples living apart during the early months of lockdown.
It aimed to hold conversations, create connections, and nurture communities among people who share the same experiences.
With the guidance of a guardian, the SPASYO circle was designed for story exchanges, questions, meditations, games, and reflections on how to navigate the changing world.
SPASYO

Sabrina was a co-organizer and creatives executive for ArtivisTAYO, a two-month arts leadership fellowship program that explored the relationship between art, activism, and voter empowerment.
Through the Youth Leadership Incubator Program of Out of the Box Media Literacy and partnerships with various advocacy organizations, five ArtivisTAYO fellows from all over the Philippines were able to develop new original art works that honor their anger, love, and activism.
They went on to present their works & collaborations to national electoral candidates during a three-episode roundtable discussion on March 2022.

Sabrina also served as one of the workshop designers and co-facilitators for WALANG SAYANG (No Waste): Young Artist-Leaders for Climate Action Online Camp.
Through the support of The Social Change Nest and Urban Movement Innovation Fund (UMIF), WALANG SAYANG sought to build a network of young artists educated and engaged in climate crisis conversations.
At the end of the program, the Performing Arts campers collaborated on and produced an original music video on the power of youth to lead climate action and ecological healing.
