You can think of Tina Young as an arts and crafts doctor. Of course she can fix her students' projects.

A longtime knitter and crocheter, Young leads a craft class at VISIONS at Selis Manor, a residence and activity center for the visually impaired in Chelsea.

"They see what they touch and they're great at it," Young said.

Young has long served the seniors and food pantries in Southeast Queens.

"I just like to give back to my community, not just to my community but to our society period," she said.

Young started pitching in on different projects with New York Cares, a volunteering nonprofit organization, 12 years ago. That brought her to VISIONS, where she now leads a class covering knitting, crocheting and looming.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 7 years old and I wanted to give back.”

Young said she didn't need to do much differently to guide the blind craft makers.

"With someone that can see, at least they can see what I'm doing,” she said. “With the vision impaired, I use the hands for motion."

The class is popular. It has a wait list. Participants said Young is an important part of that.

"She's very talented and very creative and she comes up with different things for us to do,” said Sharon Joyner, a class participant.

The class gives participants something to be proud of. Many of the hats and scarves and other pieces they create go to people in need in Young's Southeast Queens.

"When I leave this earth, I want to make sure that I've done all I can do to help others," Young said.
