CAREER DISCOVERY

When the bus stops coming
purpose should disappear, too

Suzanne set out to find the place her daughter Emilie deserved after graduating from Ivymount School. When that place didn’t exist, she built it. LuxPoshibilities is the answer to the “Service Cliff” — the moment when school ends and structured support, community, and purpose disappear almost overnight for adults with disabilities. Suzanne built the place she wished had existed. A nonprofit social enterprise and career internship program for adults with disabilities and neurodivergent adults, ages 21 to 36. Retail is the vehicle; the destination is confidence, belonging, and a real career.

0 %

of discarded textiles end up i landfills or incinerators — the majority still reusable or recyclable

~ 0 %

of all clothing is made from plastic-based synthetic fibers that can take centuries to break down

< 0 %

of clothing is recycled into new garments — making reuse and resale the single most effective way to reduce waste

BEYOND THE SIXTEEN

Discovery does not have an expiration date.

An intern moves through each station as the garment does, and can stop, repeat, or specialize anywhere along the way. Every station is available to name. Participants who want to continue learning may move into three advanced pathways for deeper education, greater responsibility, and continued career exploration.

Two cohorts

Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday, six hours a day — twelve hours a week.

Six participants

Held at six through the pilot year, growing to twelve in year two.

Certificates that travel

Four levels of recorded mastery,
in language employers already recognize

Continued-learning tracks

Five tracks launch in our second year alongside the floor work, there where the skills stop being about clothing and start being about a life. All five are available to name.

— Social media, photography, & digital marketing

— Problem-solving and independence

— Leadership, conflict resolution, & mentorship

— Money, banking, budgeting, and green consumerism

— Community connection, outreach, and event planning

Graduation shouldn’t be the day opportunity ends

Our program follows a piece of clothing from the moment it arrives to the moment someone carries it home — and every step is a skill that transfers to a real job.

Participants learn through authentic experiences with real standards, supportive guidance, and room to discover at their own pace.

Our future space

2,750 square feet
of what comes next.

A transparent space for potential to take shape.
Our training center is designed to make the work visible, the learning meaningful, and the possibilities endless for every individual. Rooted in our core values, LuxPoshibilities brings interns, staff, volunteers, and communities together in a real working environment. Neurodivergent adults discover their strengths, and prepare for meaningful career pathways.

Stylized plan — not to scale

It starts with a bag.

A hoodie — premium brand, barely worn, headed for a landfill — arrives at Donation Receiving. A participant logs it in. From the boutique floor, customers can watch this happen, because the entire training center runs behind glass. The work here isn’t hidden in a back room. It’s the point.

Someone decides it’s worthy.

At Sorting & Quality, trained eyes check seams, zippers, pilling, authenticity. Judgment calls, made all day — the kind of real decisions most training programs never trust participants to make.

Then it gets cared for.

Laundry & Fabric Care, then the steaming station. Water temperature, fabric settings, a crisp finish. Care, literally — applied to a garment by someone the system stopped caring for at graduation.

It gets its portrait taken.

At Photography & Inventory, the hoodie is shot, measured, and listed. If it sells online, two Packaging & Shipping stations wrap it and send it anywhere in the country — with a handwritten thank-you inside the box.

Or it hits the floor.

Eight hundred square feet of Retail Boutique — merchandised, stocked, and staffed by participants. A real store with real customers, where a shopper hunting a deal on Lululemon funds someone’s training shift without even knowing it.

Sold — by someone with a name tag.

The hoodie leaves through Checkout in the hands of a participant running the register. A transaction, a thank-you, a receipt. A hundred small independences, one at a time.

And the rest is built for belonging.

The Bean pours the coffee. The Community Table seats twelve. The Lounge is where shifts end and friendships don’t. And the Quiet Room is there by design, not apology — because a space built for neurodivergent adults plans for regulation the same way it plans for plumbing.

Discover how one small act can set something extraordinary in motion.

The plan is drawn.
The mission is proven.
Your contribution could help bring it to life
and let the ripple continue — reaching far beyond these walls.
