We always have a variety of unique and meaningful opportunities to contribute to the Dress for Success Vancouver Community. From high-priority volunteers to our most needed items, here are the things we need the most right now.
Join other prominent businesses and philanthropic leaders in our community and support Dress for Success Vancouver’s Success Luncheon 2023, presented by BlueShore Financial. We have three ways to support: Donate your time as a day-of-event volunteer, sponsor the luncheon at one of four sponsorship levels, or donate items to our wall of wine or silent auction.
Please visit our website to learn more about each of these opportunities.
What We Need
We are looking for workshop speakers for our public workshops and Professional Women’s Group professional development program. Specifically, we are interested in experienced workshop presenters and/or public speakers who can volunteer to speak confidently to our community on any of the following topics: physical and mental health wellness, emotional intelligence, leadership, navigating the workplace, negotiation, family law, stress and burnout management, career transitions, the job search and job market, resume and cover letter writing, and work-life balance.
Dress for Success Vancouver is looking for volunteer mentors to support clients in their personal and professional journey. During one-on-one monthly meetings, mentors will provide guidance, coaching, and advice to their mentees, help them set realistic personal and professional goals, and provide input to create action steps to achieve them. Mentors provide constructive feedback in a supportive way, and may also help connect their mentees to other resources and make introductions to others in their network.
If you are at a point in your career where you are ready to support another woman in her career development, let’s explore your potential as a mentor with Dress for Success Vancouver!

We are in need of 30 storage bins to help organize our new space. These bins can be found for approximately 10 dollars per bin on IKEA.
