About us
The mission of Dress for Success Cincinnati is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. Dress for Success Cincinnati is part of a global movement for change, empowering women to obtain safer and better futures. Our concern is not where our clients have been, but rather where they are going. We are about much more than simply a new outfit. Our programs give her the confidence she will carry forever and the knowledge that she can define her life. Poverty affects women the most, and its effects can be long-lasting. Therefore, addressing women’s needs is central to improving the quality of life for not only the woman but also her family and her community through the following programs. StyleHER We want women to feel their best in the job search. Our volunteers work help choose two interview outfits and provide guidance and support for the upcoming interview. We provide women everything they need for an interview—from clothing to confidence—and can return once they find employment for the clothing they need to enter the workforce. HigherHER Our HigherHER women's career development program helps unemployed and under-employed women gain professional skills, accelerate their job search and build confidence through the HigherHER curriculum and our partnership with Cincinnati Works in our Career Center. EmpowerHER Our EmpowerHER program offers ongoing support to help women reach economic self-sufficiency and the goal of being able to give back to the community. EmpowerHER provides educational opportunities and a network that helps women in the workplace continue to develop skills and advance in their careers. We offer meetings and events including expert speakers and networking with professionals from a variety of industries and with other women who have made similar transitions into the workforce.
