Building Confidence and Opportunity

Preparing Detroit’s Young Men for Life’s Next Steps

Threads for Success equips young men to transition from high school to adulthood, offering career coaching and development, mentorship, and custom-fitted clothing from local professionals. Our mission centers on helping each young man envision a successful future and believe in his potential to thrive professionally.

Participants in our program hear and learn from local leaders who may have faced similar challenges growing up in the city but who overcame those obstacles to achieve professional success. Additionally, each participant receives a custom-tailored suit to help them “dress for success” and feel confident about new opportunities.

Through donated suits, jackets, ties, and dress shirts, we embrace sustainability with purpose, giving new life to each piece of a professional wardrobe. Partner organizations and volunteers—from catering teams to motivational speakers and local businesses—unite to make a lasting impact, connecting with Detroit’s young talent and supporting the community.

Together, we’re opening doors and building a stronger, 
more confident future for Detroit’s next generation.
