Supporting unemployed & underemployed women on their path to success

About us

Dress for Success Twin Cities believes in empowerment through employment. Unemployed and underemployed women may come seeking professional attire, but they stay for the holistic and engaging programs. The vision of Dress for Success Twin Cities is to significantly increase the number of women who gain and maintain personal and financial stability in order to support themselves and their family. We offer high touch, high impact career and workplace skills development programs for low income women to help them achieve career advancement, career stability and economic sustainability. We believe… …in being a Woman of your Word. We value integrity and believe that being consistent in what you do and say is the foundation of your identity. …every woman has the internal strength and capacity to define her own future. We believe everyone can learn to make wise choices that promote growth, freedom and confidence. …emotional intelligence is core to a person’s success. We understand self-awareness, compassion, self-regulation, empathy, motivation and social skills have significant impact on a person’s life. …every woman needs a network of positive support. We know that women do well when they are valued, respected and treated with care, and when they learn to model these attributes in return.

  • We're excited to welcome Stephanie Licht to the DFSTC board! Here is what Stephanie has to say: With over 18 years of experience in the financial industry, I’ve dedicated myself to driving transformation and continuous improvement. My journey has taken me from small community banks to large corporate institutions, culminating in my recent role as the Director of Process Improvement & Automation at Bremer Bank. I firmly believe in the power of innovation, creativity, and collaboration. These three pillars consistently yield exceptional results. Whether streamlining processes or fostering new ideas, I thrive on pushing boundaries. My path has been shaped by strong mentors who enriched both my personal and professional growth. As a result, I’m dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and empowering women to dream big and reach their goals. Originally from Iowa, I graduated from Iowa State University before making Minnesota my home in 2015. Family remains at the heart of my life, and in my spare time, you’ll find me creating memories with my husband (Dan) and our two grown sons—Dylan (21) and Blake (19). Whether fishing on the lake, solving puzzles, or playing games, I cherish every moment. If there’s one piece of advice I’d share, it’s this: be a lifelong learner, surround yourself with people who are different then you, and remember that a smile can go a long way. Let’s keep building connections and making a positive impact together!

  • At Dress for Success Twin Cities, we know that the way we view the world can shape our experiences and opportunities. Shifting from a scarcity mentality to an abundance mentality can transform not only our outlook but also our lives. When we focus on abundance, we see possibilities instead of limitations, opportunities instead of obstacles. This mindset allows us to embrace new experiences, build stronger connections, and unlock our full potential. Let’s challenge ourselves to think abundantly, to recognize the endless opportunities around us, and to support one another in achieving our goals. Together, we can create a future full of possibilities.
