Making Changes Association

Making Changes Association is a dynamic non-profit organization that empowers women in transition by helping them build confidence and skills so they can participate as fully as possible in their communities. We fulfill our mission by providing the following programs: • The Walk-In Closet: Offers one-on-one consultations on professional attire to women facing financial barriers who want to join the workforce, return to school or get involved with volunteer opportunities. Participants are offered gently used clothing and accessories at not cost to help them look and feel their best. • Employment and Life Skills Program: Offers a series of pre-employment workshop to immigrant women. Through self-discovery, this program encourages critical thinking in a supportive environment so women who are new to this country can not only recognize the skills they already possess, but how to confidently use those skills to successfully advance their career in Canada. • My Best Friend’s Closet: Provides girls aged 12 to 18 from low-income homes with appointments to select a year’s worth of fashionable and functional clothing to meet their back to school and recreational needs at no cost. Each participant is paired with a peer volunteer stylist who assists them in choosing their clothes and accessories in a fun, retail-style space.
