Make a Difference. Join Our Staff.
United Colors of Fashion (UCOF) is supported by an international team of philanthropically-minded, skilled professionals with backgrounds in fashion, the arts, and business. These individuals donate their time and expertise to passionately carry out UCOF’s mission of Empowering Youth through Fashion.
Join UCOF’s staff for the opportunity to use your specific skills, talents, education and experiences to positively impact youth in New York and South Africa.
Pick a Team.
From Finance to Fashion Show Production, if you’re committed to making a difference in the lives of young people through fashion, there’s a team for you at UCOF:
Time Commitment.
While many of our staff members are based in the New York tri-state area, a significant number are scattered across the country and around the world. Each staff member commits about seven hours per week to help run our programs. However, through emails, conference calls and in-person meetings only as needed, our staff has the flexibility to work for UCOF according to their own schedules.
For more experienced professionals unable to commit seven hours each week, UCOF invites you to apply to join our Board of Advisors where you will be able to use your unique expertise to provide advice and counsel to our staff.
Contact Us to Apply.
If you are interested in applying for any of our teams, please contact Ciano Clerjuste at:
