Enchanted Closet, Inc. Information

Our Mission The Enchanted Closet, Inc. is a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization with the mission to physically, mentally, and emotionally outfit metropolitan Atlanta high school girls from low-income families. Our History In January 2003, the Enchanted Closet was formed as a community service project to outfit disadvantaged girls for their prom. The working philosophy was that no high school girl should miss this rite of passage because she could not afford a dress. It was a simple principle that resonated in the Atlanta community and sparked an outpouring of support. To date, the Enchanted Closet has provided over 6500 girls with formal dresses for prom, homecoming, graduation and other special occasions. The Enchanted Closet also mentors middle and high school girls, ages 12-19 years old, at-risk for lower educational attainment, abuse, pregnancy, etc. through its GIRL$ Service-Learning Program. This program includes life-readiness workshops and community service to enhance self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-sufficiency, and is focused on Economic and Social Entrepreneurship.
