Referral GUIDELINES

Looking to submit an application to the My Best Friend’s Closet Program?

Please ensure:

1. The referral is submitted by or supported by an agency.
(Please note that currently referrals from non-agency sources are not being accepted)

2. The person you are referring identifies as female or uses they/them pronouns.

3. The person you are referring is between the ages of 12 and 18 years.

4. The person you are referring has personal or family financial barriers you are willing to speak to.
(This must include the financial barriers they are facing – it is not adequate to simply highlight the current economy).

If all three of these are relevant, please submit a referral to the program here.

We respect the culture of the peoples who walk through our doors and we strive to provide space for them. We acknowledge that Indigenous peoples continue to experience hardships and our agency will be champions for change in our daily service to community. Making Changes is committed to inclusivity and recognition of all peoples who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
