The Women’s Career Closet Now Open

Established in 1993, the Women’s Career Closet provides free, work-appropriate clothing to area women. Whether preparing for an interview or building a wardrobe for an existing job, women may visit the Women’s Career Closet up to four times per calendar year. There are approximately 2,000 visits to the Women’s Career Closet each year.

The Women’s Career Closet is designed to serve women 18 years of age or older who are seeking employment, building a wardrobe for an existing job, or in need of clothing for court appointments. Generous donations from local individuals and organizations make this possible.

The Women’s Career Closet carries primarily business casual and professional clothing (tops, pants, suits, dresses, coats, shoes/boots, gloves, scarves, belts, jewelry and handbags). Dressier items are available for special occasions in the YWCA’s Madison Street Boutique. Scrubs may be selected twice a year if required for an interview or a job.

Items that do not meet the Women’s Career Closet criteria are used in our Madison Street Boutique or re-donated to other non-profit organizations in the greater Green Bay area. Some high-end fashion items may be consigned at local resale shops with the proceeds reinvested into the Women’s Career Closet operation.

Please visit  during the following hours:

Tuesdays         1:00 – 4:00 pm
Wednesdays  2:00 – 5:00 pm
Thursdays       3:00 – 6:00 pm

Registration closes one-half hour prior to the end of each shift; guests must arrive by that time to be served. Special group appointments are available for those participating in work readiness or customer service programs. The YWCA is closed on most major holidays, and the Women’s Career Closet is also closed the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and for two weeks around the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
