client with stylist

IN-PERSON CLIENT STYLIST

The boutique provides high-quality clothing and styling services to low-income women who are in need of clothing for special events, interviewing, jobs, or just simply day-to-day living. As a stylist, you will work one-on-one with a client during a 60-minute session to select clothes that work for her needs and her personal style. In addition to selecting and coordinating clothes, shoes and accessories, you will have the opportunity to support and encourage the client so she leaves feeling greater self-esteem and confidence.

Client Styling

THREADS TO GO STYLISTS

Our stylists use a personalized style profile to select clothing and accessories that reflect the client’s needs and preferences. Stylists package clothing in a reusable Uncommon Threads tote bag and include personal messages of support and encouragement. There is some training for this role which we provide. Knowledge and interest in current fashions is a plus!

Volnteers sorting bags of clothing donations

DONATION SORTING

Inventory Coordinators sort, size, and display donated clothing and accessories for our client boutique. Tasks include unpacking bags and boxes of donations, as well as hanging organizing, and steaming clothes. Knowledge and interest in current fashion is a plus!
