Our Clients Matter to Us
Inclusion, Diversity and Equity fuels the spirit and heart of who we are and what we do. We are passionate about ensuring that everyone feels heard and valued for their true selves, no matter their story, their current circumstances, or who they are. The keys for the disruption of the poverty cycle include career development, financial education, and the reinstitution of hope. We succeed when everyone leaves us feeling prepared, supported, accepted, and hopeful.

"I really enjoyed the Women's Employment Network- Job Readiness classes. At first I thought that I already knew it all, but then I realized that I was falling short of my brand. I learned all kinds of strategies to help with my interviewing. I love the support that the program gives!"
-Precious (Dress for Success Denver)
"Dress for Success Denver helped me get a job. I was unemployed for a long time but now I love my job. I moved into a new apartment and my son finally has his own room. Thank you for helping get on my feet!"
