In its continued support of the Lower Eastside Girls Club (LESGC), H&M hosted a Career Day in its New York Showroom for program participants. The experience included tips on job readiness, resume writing and interview techniques. Attendees also took part in an interactive activity in which they created day-to-night looks with H&M fashions.

H&M has been a proud contributor to The Trevor Project since 2021 to enable the organization’s life sustaining work. Programs offered by Trevor include 24/7 crisis counselling, support and intervention, advocacy, and suicide prevention.
