Madewell’s Post

As #PrideMonth ends, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible ways our associates celebrated throughout the month and showed up to participate in an array of events, partnerships, initiatives, and more!    From kicking off the month with our PRIDE Associate Impact Group (AIG) happy hour to attendance at a special PFLAG-hosted event, marching in the Boston Pride Parade, partnering with Point of Pride for our Month-Long Affirming Card Writing Campaign for Trans Youth + Adults, a PFLAG National “Want to be an Ally (or Help One Out?) Building the Path for Your Ally Journey webinar and more!   We are lucky to be part of a community that shows up for one another and champions the idea that love is for everyone during Pride and every day of the year.    Happy Pride! #Pride #LoveisLove #LGBTQCommunity #TeamMadewell

Madewell wishes you a Happy Juneteenth and is proud to recognize Black history and heritage not only today, but every day 🖤.   For our associates we are honoring the Juneteenth holiday by highlighting Black voices and changemakers and creating opportunities for connection in partnership with our NOIR Associate Impact Group (AIG) with celebrations featuring treats from black owned businesses.    For more ways to honor and connect with the Black community on Juneteenth, we recommend following our partner Well-Read Black Girl, founded by Glory Edim as a platform to uplift Black storytellers. Edim has fostered a community where their voices are cherished and celebrated and for the third consecutive year, she worked with Madewell to curate a list of books that explore rich Black history and culture.   We are grateful for this holiday as a reflection and celebration of African American resilience and achievement while continuing to inspire efforts toward social justice and unity in the United States.   #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #TeamMadewell  

We’re wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures 💙.   At Madewell we’re committed to creating a community where all associates feel seen and supported. We recognize that there are many paths to parenthood and provide inclusive benefits to support our associates as they grow their families.    We offer a wide range of benefits to support the transition to fatherhood—from our partnership with Progyny which includes fertility treatments, fertility preservation, and donor tissue, to surrogacy and adoption programs, and paid bonding leave. We also have a hybrid working model and Flexible Fridays (HQ employees are able to complete their workdays at 1:00 p.m. year-round) which busy parents and caregivers can appreciate!    Our working parent and caregiving community at JCG comes together in our Family Associate Impact Group (AIG) to connect and positively impact each other, Madewell, and beyond. This AIG is a communal space for support that provides the opportunity to bond and discuss the unique challenges this community faces.    #FathersDay #Family #AIG #TeamMadewell

We are thrilled to welcome the Summer Internship class of 2024, joining us at our Home Office in New York City.   During their first week, the interns completed orientation where they learned about the product lifecycle, sustainability, and belonging and social impact at J.Crew. At the end of the week, the interns visited several of our stores in NYC and had the opportunity to meet with our stores teams. Special thank you to Amanda Santos for a wonderful visit to the Madewell Fifth Ave store!   We are proud to have such talented and dedicated interns on board, and we look forward to an amazing summer ahead!   #internship #retail #teammadewell

🌈On Saturday in Boston, we continued our Madewell #PrideMonth celebrations by kicking off our new tradition—popping up in different cities nationwide to join our associates as they participate in local Pride Parades! Post-parade, we continued to spread the LOVE at our Copley Place store with treats and more! The joy was palpable as we stood in solidarity with our Pride AIG, the Boston LGBTQ+ community, amazing associates, and incredible customers. 🌈   A huge shout out to our associates Frank Albernaz & Christopher Rogers and the entire Boston Pride planning team for bringing these celebrations to life!    #Pride #PrideMonth #LoveisLove #LGBTQCommunity #Madewell

As May was Mental Health Awareness Month, here at Madewell we couldn’t think of a better way to promote the month than some organized exercise as a crew! We know that our mental health is heavily impacted by our physical well-being, and the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge 3.5-mile race was just what the doctor ordered!   Last week, we had over 100 associates join across our organization to run or walk the course through Central Park in matching shirts designed by our very own Elie R., Anni M., Danielle Evangelista. We turned up the stakes a bit with some healthy team competitions, celebrated each other crossing the finish line, and had the opportunity to gather together in post-race celebrations.   We look forward to continuing our focus on our mental and physical health year-round and already can’t wait for next year's race! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #JPMCC #Madewell #GlobalRunningDay

In honor of May being Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Month, we partnered with Madewell APIDA associates to help share and provide some personal recommendations of theirs to help others honor their history.    These included what we could all Watch, Listen To, and Read as a company this month to honor and celebrate the rich culture of our APIDA associates and in turn we wanted to share some of those suggestions with our larger Madewell community—you!   #APIDA #HeritageMonth #TeamMadewell

Last week at our Madewell Headquarters in NYC, we had the opportunity to partner with BLOOMAGAINBKLYN, a fantastic non-profit that repurposes unsold or once-used flowers in support of reducing waste, social isolation and loneliness.   Our associates volunteered onsite and worked together to help refurbish these flowers into new arrangements, which BLOOMAGAINBKLYN distributed to homebound seniors, local nursing home residents, and others in need.   We are grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing organization and bring employees together to spark joy for our NYC community 💐.    #BloomAgainBklyn #Volunteer #GiveBack #MHAM #TeamMadewell
