We Help Women Go From Surviving to Thriving

 

Since 2012, Dress for Success San Jose has provided resources and a continuing network of support to more than 4,000 women* as they move through their professional journeys.

*We use the term "women" in a gender expansive way, to include cis, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, gender queer, and any woman-identified person.
