The Styleburst Project is an all-volunteer project that provides free makeovers for individuals receiving services from New River Valley Community Services. Most events take place at the Fairlawn Goodwill where participants choose a new "outfit" of up to three items of clothing. Volunteer staff members give feedback to participants as to what items are most flattering. After the clothing is chosen, hair and makeup styling are provided, also by volunteers. This project is designed to be a self-esteem boost for very deserving people. A degree in fashion or cosmetology is not necessary. We are looking for volunteer staffers with style and enthusiasm! Styleburst events take place on weekdays and last for three to four hours total.
