Mission Statement

Founded in 1922, the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls empowers young women between 11-20 to become competent, capable and compassionate leaders by helping them learn to help others. Through its Service Leadership Program, IORG strives to give each of our members the skills necessary for a young woman to be successful in an ever changing world.

We define service leadership as a vital step in service learning. Once a person fully understands the concept of learning by helping others, he or she begins to grow personally as a leader. Rainbow is fun and filled with forever friendships.

Rainbow welcomes girls of every race, religion and culture, and has locations throughout the United States and Canada, in addition to Aruba, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Philippines.

Our Daughter, Jen, is a Majority recipient from Rainbow (IORG). At the age of 20, Rainbow girls receive their “Majority”, which is an event similar to graduation from IORG. In 2013, Jen completed eight years of study, receiving her Pharmacy Doctorate from the joint Oregon State (OSU)/OHSU program, and is now in her second year of residency at the University of Wisconsin at Madison Hospital, which is among the top-5 Pharmacy programs in the nation, according to the US News & World Report 2012 rankings. Her goal is to practice in Clinical Pharmacy; in ICU or Emergency Room/Department: Using the IORG pledge to help others for a lifetime. Rainbow has helped Jen immensely in the memorization and leadership, teamwork, and priority-juggling so needed to achieve her career goal. It is a pleasure to watch shy, overwhelmed young preteen girls grow, as they learn leadership skills, public speaking, memorization skills and leadership traits to become accomplished leaders in the World.
