ORGANIZATION: Success in Style

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 16 people are interested

Success in Style supports in-crisis individuals pursuing employment. We provide image consultation and a professional wardrobe for disadvantaged people entering the work force. Our volunteers support our mission by uplifting our clients and helping them show off their best, most professional selves. A typical four-hour volunteering shift can look like hanging and tagging our clothing donations in the Processing Room or running our retail shops, Charity’s Closet and Charity’s First Picks. Volunteering in our retail shops involves opening/closing the stores, managing the register, and assisting our clients and customers with coordinating outfits. We ask new volunteers to commit to training with one of our volunteer trainers for two shifts. Shifts are Monday-Saturday 10am-2pm or 2pm-6pm and Sunday 11am-2pm or 2pm-6pm. After training, most of our volunteers sign up for shifts about 2-4 times a month at least.

Volunteer Application required. Please fill out and submit the application on our website. You will be contacted once it's received. https://successinstyle.org/volunteer/
