Intern With Us

Transform potential into purpose—starting with your own.

At Working Wardrobes, internships are hands-on, mission-driven, and designed to help you grow while empowering our clients on their path to meaningful employment. You’ll build real skills, contribute to high-impact projects, and see the power of dignity in action—every single day.

Client Services – Assist with outreach, workshops, resource creation, and program support that help clients build confidence and career readiness.

Social Enterprise (Retail & E-Commerce) – Learn the business side of doing good: merchandising, inventory flow, product presentation, customer experience, and light e-commerce support.
