Skills learned are transferable to
other jobs and situations. Prior to
graduation students will create a
wedding gown together and as
a final project and they will sew
their own graduation gowns. In
addition TenderLove provides
transportation
and
lunches,
and students keep clothes
they make for themselves and
receive a percentage of monies
earned from other arts and
crafts projects they create.
The
Center
is
currently
accepting applications for
students for the 2015-2016
upcoming class that will start
in November 2015.
The all-volunteer staff and
Board of Directors at TenderLove hope
that through this Fashion Show, women
who might benefit from the program will
become aware of it, perhaps actually see
the fashion show, and feel more comfortable
and confident about visiting TenderLove’s
center and exploring the program. We
believe women can recover from trauma
and painful experiences of the past. We will
help them break the cycle of homelessness
and empower them for a better future to
achieve stable and self-sufficient lives for
themselves and their families.
