UPDATE: Beyond the Boutique Capacity Building Campaign
 The Dress for Success - Charlotte boutique and career transformation center is open for business! While still in need of a few finishing touches, the new space is offering low-income women a place to get the professional attire, career guidance, and, most importantly, the confidence to get and keep a job.
The Beyond the Boutique Capacity Building Campaign's goal was to raise $150,000 to meet the growing demand for Dress for Success Charlotte services. Thanks to the new boutique and transformation center, these women have a place to get fitted for suits, work on their resumes, and look for jobs.
