Our Mission

Our mission at Suited for Success is to help women achieve self-sufficiency by providing professional clothing and career development services. Our services, available to clients at no charge, empower women to find and keep jobs that provide them with economic independence.

Breaking the cycle

A woman without a job cannot afford career clothing. And without career clothing, a woman is unlikely to get a job. Suited for Success helps our clients break this cycle by preparing them to present a professional and confident image during the interview and on the job. We provide women with a personal shopping experience with volunteers to assist them in selecting career clothing in our Suited store, such as gently worn business suits and accessories. We help women find professional attire that enables them to feel professional, self-confident and employable.

The cycle of poverty and unemployment that often repeats over several generations, is an even more important cycle to break. By helping women find and keep employment, we break the cycle of dependence on government assistance for themselves and their children. Our clients become positive examples of self-sufficiency for their children.

“I would not be who I am today without the encouragement and support provided by this wonderful organization. One suit is turning into a lifetime of suits as a lawyer. Thank you Suited For Success!”
