CMS Team Helps A Place Called Home Turn Inner City Girls into ‘Cinderella’ for Prom


The CMS Team (from L-R): Danielle, Audrey, and Martha


On April 27th and 28th, CMS Instructor Wendy Ann Rosen and a group of dedicated students hit A Place Called Home’s youth center in South LA to take part in the annual Cinderella Project.

The Cinderella Project is an annual volunteer drive for at-risk teenage girls that, according to the center, “not only gifts them with a beautiful gown, but also empowers them to develop their inner-beauty and esteem through signing up for volunteer opportunities that will make a tangible difference in their communities.”

The CMS team helped teach the girls makeup techniques to complete the look with their newly donated gowns and shoes and prepare them for prom.

“It was awesome” says Martha Sanchez, a CMS graduate who worked at the event. “It sort of reminded me of when I used to be a cosmetic trainer for L’Oréal USA, in terms of coaching and demonstrating.” 

Wendy Ann also had a glowing review of the event, and added that she might invite some of the girls to participate in her CMS class as models in the future.
