About this organization
Mission
The mission of Dress for Success Washington, DC is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
About
We believe that “self-sufficiency” is more than just a suit or a job – it is an overall commitment to being independent in all aspects of life. Our comprehensive programs address every phase of a woman’s career – from being unemployed and job searching, to recently employed and adjusting and, eventually, gainfully employed and succeeding. Through this process we are encouraging a critical mass of intergenerational and cross-cultural women to gain the necessary skills to break the cycle of poverty. When women achieve the earnings and savings power to direct their own future, their entire community benefits – their children, extended relatives, local workforce pools, and neighborhoods.
