About Our Programs

Image for Success serves clients by referral only.
Our clients are referred to us by over 45 social service
agencies in Marin. Our clients come to us from a
continually expanding and diverse group of non-profit
and government agencies including homeless shelters,
immigration services, job training programs, educationa
l institutions, and domestic violence shelters.This list currently runs the gamut from small volunteer-run agencies like Gilead House to some of the larger agencies such as CalWorks and Homeward Bound of Marin.

On the initial visit, our clients receive a suit appropriate for the industry in which they're interviewing and, if available, accessories. Once a job is found, the client returns to Image for Success for additional clothing that can be mixed and matched to make several outfits, providing the foundation for a professional wardrobe.

Over 100 people volunteer as personal shoppers and training facilitators for Image for Success. Every one of them is dedicated to improving our clients' self-esteem through improved interview skills and business-appropriate wardrobes.

Image for Success is grateful for the support of community corporations, foundations, businesses and individuals. Our work depends on funding from private donations and grants to pay the rent and keep the lights shining. It also allows us to purchase new clothing to supplement the generous donations made by the community.
