It wasn't just about receiving clothing. It was about enjoying an experience where they felt included and supported." - ADNJ Youth Services

We observed increased confidence, improved moods, and greater engagement. The social connections and mentorship were the most valuable parts of the experience." - Youth Empowerment Solutions

"Two of our teenage girls mentioned how they really liked being able to choose my own clothes and find things that fit their style. They mentioned everyone was so nice, and they had fun hanging out with the other kids and mentors.
