Wardrobe for Opportunity Programs

Dressing for Success Program

WFO receives referrals of qualified clients from over 70 partner social service agencies that are actively helping jobseekers prepare for and find jobs. During an initial appointment with a volunteer ‘personal shopper,’ a client receives two complete outfits including shoes and accessories for their upcoming interview. Once the client has been offered employment, they can return to WFO for a ‘working wardrobe’ which consists of enough clothing to dress for the first few weeks of work. Each consultation helps the client gain a more positive sense of self, enabling them to project the image of a confident applicant and employee. Approximately 70% of our clients find employment with an average wage of $12 per hour.

Pathways to Opportunity Career Advancement Program

Providing professional clothing is crucial to helping low-income jobseekers, but getting the job is only the first step. Through our Pathways to Opportunity program, Wardrobe for Opportunity has assisted nearly 200 women in developing the skill set necessary to advance in their careers and lay the foundation for a successful future. Pathways to Opportunity is a career development program that provides work/life skill building, individual coaching, and peer support for highly motivated low-income jobseekers and entry-level working women.
