How to get involved

Volunteer opportunities include:

• Work with clients to improve their presentation and interview skills, building confidence which is so important in gaining a job.  Must be available during the day once a fortnight.
• Develop and run workshops in career, financial and personal development.  These include interviewing practice, communication skills, money management, and a range of workplace issues.
• Assist with the moving and sorting of clothes and all aspects of inventory. Clothing can be collected, sorted and organized during work hours, on weekends, and during off-hours. Clothing donations are solicited through corporate clothing drives, personal requests, and from manufacturers.
• Document and evaluate the service. Volunteers are needed to make calls to clients to follow-up on their progress in or out of the workplace.
• Assist with fundraising activities and event planning.

Among other areas in which volunteers' skills can be utilised are administration, marketing and promotion, and public speaking.

Clothing Donations

We need lightly used, clean professional clothes and accessories: suits, trousers, skirts, shirts, jackets, bags, scarves, jewellery and unused hosiery.

If you have professional clothing that you no longer wear, doesn’t fit, or don’t like anymore, Fitted for Work needs that outfit.

Why not organise a clothing drive at your workplace?
