GlamourGals' mission is to inspire and organize teen volunteers to provide ongoing companionship and complimentary beauty makeovers to women living in senior homes. GlamourGals is working to build a movement of young leaders who provide a solution to elder loneliness. The organization’s vision is to end elder loneliness through a volunteer program that engages teens in critical skill-building experiences and promotes their development as leaders. Manicures and makeovers are just half the story. GlamourGals’ teen volunteers are organized locally into chapters, which consist of approximately ten members led by teen leaders. Chapter leaders recruit, train and organize their volunteers with the support of GlamourGals National. Chapters are established in high schools and colleges as independent school clubs or as permanent service activities within existing service clubs. Chapters commit to visiting their local senior home to provide GlamourGals’ signature manicures and makeovers. In addition to makeovers, chapter leaders plan meetings, recruitment, training, and fundraising events, which involve their school and the greater community. GlamourGals National goes beyond just organizing volunteer chapters that provide ongoing visits to local senior homes. They provide training and mentorship for the teens in the program through a monthly curriculum, as well as incentives and scholarship rewards.
