Our main objective is to empower high school students in the downtown Dallas area by providing comprehensive workshops focused on professional attire, grooming, and essential soft skills necessary for success in the workforce. We have been partnering with schools to benefit students, especially young men, in our community. Daniel Mofor, our President, is passionate about providing mentorship through speaking engagements, workshops, in schools and special sessions held in the Dallas showroom of our partners company, Don Morphy. 

These sessions equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to present themselves confidently and professionally in various settings, including job interviews, internships, and their future careers.

 

About our Initiative

Our Dress for Success workshops began at the Don Morphy showroom in Dallas, (one of our partners) where we invited youth to learn about our goals and the importance of professional attire. These initial sessions focused on equipping young individuals with the skills and confidence needed to present themselves effectively, instilling a sense of professionalism and self-assurance.

Building on this foundation, we expanded our reach by partnering with independent school districts in Dallas, Richardson, Plano, and Forney. Through these collaborations, we launched several initiatives aimed at empowering students with the knowledge and tools to succeed in their future careers. Our workshops cover essential topics such as grooming, professional attire, and soft skills, ensuring that participants are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

These partnerships have allowed us to make a significant impact in the communities we serve, helping to shape the next generation of confident, professional young individuals.
