The most frequent question I get in my inbox is “How can I get involved with YES?”. First of all, I’m so glad you asked! We are always eager to welcome new people into our community and are continually inspired by the number of ladies who want to donate their time and resources to empower other women. We’re so glad you’re here!
There are a number of ways to get involved with YES, and the below list is not exhaustive. We are constantly expanding our offering and are always adding new initiatives. With that said, those looking to get more involved with YES could consider the following options:
Become a Member
The most impactful way to join our community is to become a YES Member (or join the YES Squad, as we say). YES Members pay an annual fee of $45 and get access to free or discounted tickets to our events as well as exclusive networking opportunities. Most importantly, the $45 annual membership fee is a donation to Dress for Success Columbus and is about what it costs to provide one client with one outfit to get them interview-ready. When you join YES, you’re not only investing in your own professional growth, you’re also directly impacting the economic empowerment of another woman.

Volunteer or Attend and Event
Not ready to take the dive head-first into membership? Checking out one of our events or volunteering with us is a great way to dip your toes in the water. Check out our events calendar here.
Donate
The mission of YES is to support Dress for Success, and we do this via the fundraising dollars we earn from ticket sales, membership dues, and individual or corporate donations. Individuals can donate at this link. For corporations looking to get involved with YES, I’d love to start a conversation. Please email me at yes@dfscmh.org.
Follow Us and Subscribe to our Newsletter
We’d love to see you over on our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. And make sure to subscribe to our newsletter where you’ll receive notices about our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities!
I can’t wait to meet you!

At this time, we encourage you to follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date on our offerings.
