Cinderella’s Closet of Monmouth County’s original mission was to focus on promoting self-esteem among young adults by providing opportunities for students to feel empowered during our events by being a volunteer or by being one of our clients and able to rock their prom celebration in style.   

​

During the pandemic, it was impossible to implement our mission as originally envisioned.  However, we started a scholarship program a few years ago, and have decided to expand and refocus our organization with our new mission.   Cinderella’s Closet of Monmouth County strives to encourage students to continue to pursue a career through education after their high school graduation.  Each student will meet this challenge either by attending a two-year college program, a four-year college program or a vocational trade program.  Our mission is to assist young people in continuing their education and have an impact in their world.
