What to Wear?
Students should dress conservatively and professionally. Think of it as going to a high-level job interview or to the courtroom and not going out clubbing. One of the goals of our programs is to teach young people not only how to dress professionally, but to feel comfortable in the attire. At first, students may complain, but they do begin to understand over time.
Students should not take the opportunity to go buy a whole new wardrobe. We encourage students to borrow or wear the best that they have. How they look does matter and when they look well put together they begin to take on a new attitude. The suit is their team uniform. You wouldn’t want a basketball team to have the starters wearing tennis shoes and the reserves to be in flip-flops.
