Mission
The Success Closet provides free professional attire for our students for job interviews, presentations, and work. Students may shop the Success Closet twice each semester. To be eligible, students must be currently enrolled in classes and have a valid school ID. Students will be asked to complete a brief intake form. The Success Closet is open year-round when the college is open but has limited hours during the summer and over breaks.
The Success Closet welcomes the donation of professional attire for our students who are interviewing for future employment. Because of limited space, we need to limit the types of clothes donated to the items listed below. When making a donation to the Success Closet, please make sure the items you donate are new or in very good condition, clean and free of stains, pet hair, perfume/cologne, and tears/snags. Any items not accepted for donation or if they do not move within a reasonable time will be donated to another charity or disposed of. Thank you for your support!
