What We Do Suiting Program | The Suiting Program is about more than clothing. It’s a transformational experience that builds confidence and self-esteem, enabling a woman to secure meaningful employment. We serve women by referral only through a wide range of agency partners across the city. Each Client is paired one-on-one with a volunteer clothing stylist who provides advice, guidance, and recommendations during a personal 90 minute appointment.

When she successfully lands the job, she can return for a second appointment to receive three additional work outfits to help her build a professional wardrobe.
