Sisterhood Boutique offers 4 month internships to young East African women in Cedar-Riverside, ages 16-25. During the internship the youth are exposed to curriculum spanning personal, professional, and community development. Examples of focus areas are financial literacy, career/college planning, and customer service skills. The interns also gain experiential learning through working in the store, visiting local organizations, and putting on an event in the community!

The young women selected to join our program are completing their very first job! Towards the end of the internship they have put together a resume, practiced interviewing, networked with professionals and businesses who encourage them to apply, and are mentored by women into finding 2nd or 3rd jobs.

We are operating today because of our wonderful donors, community members, and partners. Sisterhood gives a big thank you to all that have, do, or will support us! We'd also like to highlight those at Augsburg University, Women's Foundation, Wells Fargo, DEED, Sundance, Fairview, and Brian Coyle Community Center.

We continue to grow and make deeper connections within the community. For example, we just recently added a men's rack to the store AND began teaching at an after-school program in a Minneapolis high-school! But don't worry, our prices stay the same. Everything in the store is $12 and under (even winter jackets)!

The possibilities are unlimited at the Sisterhood. Affordable women's fashion, spa days, fashions shows, community service days, youth programs, college internships, pop-up shops, collaborations, networking, business planning, engaging in community...come talk to us about how Sisterhood can be a part of your life and vice versa!
