Milestone Project

Youth & Young Adult Milestone Support Program (Ages 15–25)

The Milestone Project is a support program designed to assist youth and young adults with essential clothing needs

for important life milestones such as prom, graduation, and other formal or academic events.

Because resources and donated items are limited, this program operates through a

fair and structured lottery system to ensure equal opportunity for all applicants.

When selected through the lottery, participants may receive:

Prom dresses and suits

Graduation outfits

Shoes and accessories (based on availability)

Support for school or special milestone events

College presentation or interview attire (when available)

This program is available for:

Youth ages 15–18 (high school students)

Young adults ages 18–25 (including college students)

Applicants must demonstrate a need for assistance with milestone-related clothing or attire.

Because items are limited, assistance is awarded through a fair lottery process:

Applications are submitted during open enrollment periods

All eligible applicants are entered into a random selection lottery

Selected individuals are notified directly

Items are distributed based on availability and size matching

Applicants not selected may reapply in future cycles

The Milestone Project operates in cycles (example):

Spring Cycle (Prom & Graduation season)

Additional cycles may open depending on donations and availability

The goal of the Milestone Project is to ensure that young people can participate in important life events

with dignity, confidence, and pride—regardless of financial barriers.

We believe that every milestone matters, and every young person deserves

the opportunity to show up prepared for their moment.

This program is fully donation-based and dependent on community contributions.

Availability is not guaranteed,

and participation in the lottery does not ensure selection.

“Every milestone deserves a moment. Every young person deserves to be seen.”
