What Sets Us Apart
We are unique intergenerational nonprofit.
Objectives for This Fiscal Year
Since January of 2000, the GlamourGals program has expanded, despite volunteer management operating with limited resources. This year we are bringing a strategic focus to our expansion, putting sustainable and scalable systems into place, producing additional programs, recognizing and rewarding our volunteers, as well as hiring the necessary staff to manage these operations.
These efficiencies will allow GlamourGals to have future consistency and success. We will continue to capture the press, and build strategic alliances with potential competitors.
We pledge to:
- Foster a movement of young women who are compassionate and mature
- Replicate existing GG programs as well as executing hip and relevant new ones
- Create a consistent look, memorable connection and evoke positive feelings from participants on both sides of the makeover table
- Team with other teen-centric organizations to reach volunteers efficiently
- Increase funding to allow volunteers nationwide to participate in national programming in NYC
- Build commitments for contributions at all levels of the organization
- reach out to national and local press outlets
- Build unique and customized relationships with external funding sources
Please join and support us in inspiring teenage talent to address the issues of elder care quality of life and help make our outreach to become one of the most recognized intergenerational programs for consistency and quality of service.
