Love seniors? Love giving manicures? Attend a makeover at Sirovich Center with GG National!
No experience necessary! Just bring yourself and a positive attitude.
GlamourGals is a nonprofit that organizes and inspires teen volunteers to provide ongoing companionship and complimentary beauty makeovers to seniors living in senior homes. GlamourGals creates a movement of compassionate teen leaders working to end elder isolation. Chapters are student-led and based in high schools (grades 9-12) and universities.

Description
GlamourGals is a nonprofit organization that organizes student-led chapters based in high schools (grades 9-12) and colleges across the country. Rachel Doyle founded GlamourGals in 2000 in memory of her grandmother. The first GlamourGals makeover took place in Commack, New York with only three volunteers. We currently have more than 1,700 volunteers in 16 states, and 100 chapters visiting senior homes in their communities. Our volunteers provide seniors with a restored sense of dignity through personal attention and warmth of caring touch, as well as the opportunity to share their stories. We also focus on leadership development for our volunteers, providing them with leadership training, mentorships, and professional development workshops.
