As Bottomless Closet marks our 25th anniversary of empowering New York City women in need it’s a time to reflect on the journey for women over this time, a journey that we are still on. While we’ve seen incredible progress for women in the areas of work, careers, sport and so many other fields, sadly we’ve also seen setbacks and places where progress has been stubbornly slow. And against this backdrop, at Bottomless Closet we see our clients at different stages of their own career journeys every day.
Whether it’s high school interns navigating their first entry into the workforce or older adults embarking on learning new technology to make them more relevant to today’s workplace, at Bottomless Closet we see the highs – and lows – at each stage of the journey.
From that first outfit and brand new resume, to the juncture of landing that first job and setting herself up for success, to becoming financially independent and self-sufficient, for many of our clients this journey they are on is one they take together and with our help. The Bottomless Closet “sisterhood” – the way our clients show up for each other, encourage each other and share their experience, their strength and their hope – is every bit as important and critical to success as the programs we offer through our Career Coaches.
We understand that setbacks are part of the journey – for women, for our clients, for all of us, no-one’s career trajectory is a straight upward line. Life happens – layoffs, sickness, divorce, loss of a loved one and learning how to navigate these setbacks is something that as women we have to be able to do, at so many times within our careers. And in these moments, it is where we can really show up to help guide and support the women seeking our help.
So come on this journey with us, on our clients’ journey with them and help us as we prepare to help more women in need this fall. We have a range of ways you can join our campaign, to support us in this journey, to empower more women at whatever stage they are at, to help them push forwards, even at times it feels impossible. Especially at those times.
Any donation you can make today, no matter how small (or big!), will be put to immediate use to provide a New York City woman in need with hope for a better future.
