We are seeking volunteers who will be working on our program, Suits & Smiles, which provides men in need with business attire for job interviews. Responsibilities include:
- Sorting clothing donations
- Assisting clients who visit with picking out the best clothing for them
These appointments are typically held Monday- Friday between 11am-4pm. You would be volunteering for approximately 2 hours depending on number of clients. When you sign up to volunteer, we will let you know when we have client appointments and you can choose to volunteer based on your availability.
IMPORTANT: Volunteers must commit to attending their volunteering session and not cancel last minute. If you have a tight schedule or find yourself frequently in need of cancelling your commitments, then this is NOT the volunteering opportunity for you.

Mission Statement
Founded in October 2003, Project Smile is a non profit organization dedicated to helping people in need through our 2 programs: Smiles for Children, which helps children who have been victims of traumatic events and Suits & Smiles which provides job interview clothing for low income men at no cost.
Description
Our program goal is to empower low income men to attain the jobs they need to improve their lives and become financially independent. Suits & Smiles launched in January 2020 and is based in Jamaica Plain. We have provided job interview clothing for 780 and the vast majority are now employed. We serve men from throughout the area.
This important service is offered to men of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, including recipients of public assistance, the disabled, recovering addicts, veterans, those recently released from prison and others who face barriers to acquiring a job and retaining it.
