General Appearance Information
Personal appearance makes a strong impression on the attitude of those you serve about you and TCC. It is always a good idea to ask if there is a dress code at the community partner site. In addition to the dress code, consider the following guidelines:
- Clean comfortable clothing.
- Only closed-toed shoes with good support.
- Appropriate, presentable personal grooming and hygiene. In some cases, especially when dealing with food, long hair should be pulled away from your face.
- Clothing that promotes a political agenda, band, questionable messages, or advertising.
- Flip flops.
- Revealing or tight-fitting clothing, tank tops, or low-cut shirts.
- Large, bulky jewelry that could get caught in clothing or hair.
