Discover the fulfillment of helping someone in need.... "First off, let me tell you what a great evening I had. I came away with such a rewarding feeling last night knowing that in some small way I had helped someone in need. I can't remember the last time I felt so fulfilled. It is such a small thing to do for someone else and I got so much in return. Thank you for including me.” A quote from a recent Poised for Success volunteer. Click Here To Volunteer >> |

About Us | About Poised For Success® |
Our StoryLocated in the heart of DuPage County, Illinois, Poised For Success® s a non-profit organization serving the suburban Chicagoland area. Our mission is to provide, at no charge, interview and business appropriate clothing to women in the job market. In addition to providing business-appropriate clothing, our volunteers assist clients in building self-esteem and interview skills, as well as referrals to other local service organizations providing job-skills training and job placement. These services give our clients the self-confidence necessary to secure a job and move beyond the need for financial assistance. Originally founded in 2002, Poised For Success is the result of a group of dedicated women who wanted to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to become financially independent. Poised For Success is supported entirely by community donations and a strong volunteer base. Poised For Success promotes economic self-sufficiency in women by providing business clothing and referrals for career training to women on financial assistance. Our clients struggle with the emotional roller coaster of being qualified for a position, but have no resume, no interviewing experience, and no clothes for either an interview or to wear once hired. Poised For Success is dedicated to helping that woman – and every woman like her – make her appearance enhance her opportunities, not detract from them.
In the last four years, Poised For Success has provided services to nearly 1,000 women, 88% of whom believe that they have received a monetary promotion as a result of our assistance and 76% of whom believe that this job has afforded them more financial freedom. |
