Volunteer as a stylist at a Pop-Up Workshop!
Volunteer 'stylists’ are needed during the school year to assist students as they select their special outfits. Volunteers are responsible for:
- Setting up and breaking down the pop-up boutique
- Working with the students on our MFO activity decks
- Making girls feel confident while they shop and try on their new outfits
10 volunteers are needed at every pop-up boutique. All first-time volunteers that want to work with students must participate in a mandatory orientation prior to the pop up.
Email Rebeca at rebeca@myfavoriteoutfit.org for more information and to schedule your orientation.

Mission Statement
My Favorite Outfit’s mission is to provide two basic needs to underprivileged girls in Chicago: clothing and confidence. We create a personalized cost-free shopping experience so every girl knows she is worth celebrating.
Description
My Favorite Outfit empowers underprivileged girls in grades 2-12 through self-esteem building and clothing donations in our signature pop-up boutiques. These pop-up boutiques are temporary stores built in the classroom of a school, and the goal of each is to increase girls’ self-esteem so they preform better in school. Girls have to earn the opportunity to attend a pop-up through good grades, high attendance, and a positive attitude.
The work we do is critical because as girls' self-esteem plummets, so does their academic success. In fact, by middle school 70% of girls are dissatisfied with their body, and once in high school the majority of girls report having low self-esteem. We believe all girls have the right to preform at their full potential, and 91% of students who attend a pop-up report feeling more confident.
