Volunteers Needed: Dinner Hosts - Dress for Success Know Your Employment Rights Workshops

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!  The Colorado Bar Association Labor & Employment Section, the Plaintiff Employment Lawyers Association (PELA), and Colorado Women’s Bar Association will be presenting three Know Your Employment Rights Workshops in 2022-23 as part of Dress for Success Denver (DFS) Professional Women’s Group. DFS is a non-profit that provides at-risk women with job readiness tools, professional attire, and post-employment support to assist them in their efforts to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Over 70 women attend DFS’ Professional Women’s Group program which provides employed clients with support, information, and inspiration to grow their professional networks, stay employed, and move forward with their career development.

Prior to the Know Your Rights presentations* which begin at 7:00 pm, DFS clients will be grouped together at tables to network and enjoy dinner together at 6:00 pm. We are seeking 8 attorney volunteers to come and serve as “table hosts” to lead conversations and inspire DFS clients at their respective tables. You do not need to be an employment lawyer, just someone who would love to help and inspire DFS’ women to continue in their career development. Time commitment is minimal – 1 hour for dinner! However, you are welcome to stay to listen to the employment law presentations following dinner!

Workshops are on the following days in 2023:

*January 31, 2023: Things You Should Know During Employment

*April 25, 2023: Things You Should Know at the End of Employment

Please sign up via Sign-Up Genius one week before each workshop so we can give DFS a headcount for dinner.

If you have any questions, please contact CWBA Legal Services Co-Chair Deborah Yim at dyim@primeralaw.com.

Location: 350 S. Dahlia St. Denver, CO 80246
