Young Executives for Success (Y.E.S!) - Columbus
Founded in 2009, Y.E.S! Columbus is a volunteer branch of Dress for Success Columbus composed of female professionals whose '9 to 5' jobs make it challenging to volunteer and connect directly with the clients being served by Dress for Success Columbus during the workday. We offer members the opportunity to promote the mission of Dress for Success Columbus and empower women to achieve through volunteering and fundraising events that take place during evening and weekend hours.
