DRESS FOR SUCCESS PALM BEACHES
MORE THAN THE DRESS
We help women overcome economic disparity
by providing professional attire, career
development tools, and a network of support.
Dress for Success Palm Beaches is part of a worldwide movement for change that seeks to provide long-lasting solutions to help women break the cycle of poverty. Join our efforts to help women regain economic stability and financial independence.
We offer professional attire for job interviews and employment, including dresses, suits, tops, slacks, skirts, shoes, purses, accessories, and even scrubs for those in healthcare. Once a client secures a job, she receives a week’s work wardrobe. A volunteer personal stylist helps each client find the right outfit. It’s a transformative experience that boosts confidence and helps make a great first impression — all at no cost!
Road to Success, our free, 6-week job readiness and professional empowerment program, is designed for women who are unemployed, underemployed, or seeking career change. Experienced instructors guide participants through strength assessments, personal branding, resume development, interview skills, and job search strategies. Each participant is paired with a mentor who offers guidance and support through the course and beyond.
This initiative brings our Road to Success graduates together with other women on a self-improvement track. They meet monthly to network and hear from experts on financial literacy, health and wellness, worker rights, and job retention and advancement. Participants value the sisterhood, positivity, and reinforcement of this experience.

For the global economy to recover, we need to ensure that as many women as possible are gainfully employed, especially those who are the only source of income in households with dependents.
