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.
