Dress for Success Cincinnati

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.

Our vision is a world where women do not live in poverty, are treated with dignity and respect and are strengthening their families and shaping their communities.

Dress for Success Cincinnati has been the first step to a better life for thousands of local women since our founding. When we help them, we also help their families and our community.

Dress for Success Cincinnati is one of the few programs in the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State area focused specifically on the needs of unemployed and under-employed women and their families. Our successful programs empower women first to secure employment and ultimately to thrive in their careers, their lives and their communities.

Dress for Success Cincinnati became renowned for providing interview suits to women returning to or entering the workforce. Our mission has expanded to include a wide variety of workforce development programs, but the StyleHER program remains a crucial part of our work and a vital first-step in a woman’s journey toward self-sufficiency.

We serve women who may have been homeless, addicted, incarcerated or in rehab. Our clients may also be women who were not able to finish their education – or who may have stayed in a violent relationship because they felt there was no other alternative.

We see sisters, rather than strangers.
