History Of GlamourGals

In 1999, sparked by the loss of her grandmother, Rachel Doyle set out to bridge the generational gap with a simple but profound idea: meaningful conversation and a touch of glamour. Recognizing the deep, often overlooked issue of senior isolation, Rachel and her high school peers in Commack, NY, hosted the very first GlamourGals makeover at a local residential care facility.

Fast forward over 25 years, and that single act of kindness has grown into a powerful national movement supporting over 3,000 teen volunteers!

Shaping the Next Generation of Leaders

What makes GlamourGals truly unique isn't just the service we provide; it’s the way we build leaders. Our model transforms teens into confident, compassionate changemakers through comprehensive leadership training, direct mentorship, and professional development.

The GlamourGals National team has our volunteers' backs every step of the way. Through immersive events, strategic phone coaching, and digital support, we help youth unlock their leadership potential and sharpen real-world skills while giving back to their local communities.
