About us

A founder's commitment to the Valley.

Meet the Navy veteran who brought Dress for Success to Warren–Youngstown and grew it into a full women's resource center for families across Trumbull and Mahoning counties.

From 2002 to 2016, we were part of the worldwide organization Dress for Success Worldwide, before branching out on our own.

A word from Felicia

Since 2001, Dress for Success Warren Youngstown has been dedicated to helping people build independence and confidence. We began with our suiting program (2001–2007) and have since expanded to offer professional attire vouchers, online courses, customized employer workshops, and continuing education for insurance professionals. Empowering individuals remains at the heart of everything we do.

The work ahead

Challenges facing women and families

Clothing opens doors — but lasting self-sufficiency means naming the barriers that still stand in the way.

  • Access to affordable childcare

    Reliable care is often the difference between accepting a job offer and turning it down.

  • Reliable transportation

    Getting to interviews, shifts, and appointments should not be a barrier to stability.

  • Mental health support

    Confidence and wellbeing are part of career readiness — not extras on the side.

Impact

How your support helps

Your continued support helps us expand programs that respond directly to these needs. We are currently working on the Hope & Grace Voucher Program, which will help individuals who do not qualify for childcare assistance through Job and Family Services. We are also developing our mobile office to bring services closer to the people who need them.

Since 2001

Built by the Valley, for the Valley.

Since 2001, Dress for Success Warren Youngstown has been dedicated to helping people build independence and confidence. We began with our suiting program (2001–2007) and have since expanded to offer professional attire vouchers, online courses, customized employer workshops, and continuing education for insurance professionals. Empowering individuals remains at the heart of everything we do.

  1. 2001

    Dress for Success Warren Youngstown launches its suiting program, providing professional attire and practical support.

  2. 2007

    The suiting program concludes, and the organization continues helping women access professional attire through a voucher program.

  3. Today

    At the request of employers, we provide online courses and mini workshops, along with continuing education courses for insurance professionals.

Success sounds like her own voice, steady again.

Portrait of Deanna R.
“I had two interviews and nothing to wear to either one. I left with a suit, a folder of notes, and the first real confidence I’d felt in a year. I start as a unit clerk in March.”

Portrait of Alicia M.
“The women’s group is the part nobody warns you about. You come for clothes and you stay because eight other women are tracking your progress like it’s their own.”

Portrait of Peg S.
“At fifty-four I thought I was too late to restart. They rebuilt my resume around twenty years of caregiving. I’ve been at the same employer three years now.”
