| Professional Dressing Program
for Women and Men
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.
