Teens Bring Smiles to Older Adults in Assisted Living Communities Through Makeovers

GlamourGals is a program founded by Rachel Doyle in which teenagers visit assisted living communities to offer seniors companionship and fun with makeup sessions, reports the Epoch Times . Since its establishment in 1999, GlamourGals has expanded into a national movement, organizing more than 1,300 teen volunteers in 18 states to provide makeovers to women in senior communities. The 501c3 GlamourGals Foundation also raises funds through the #dough4good campaign to support its teen leadership program, where high school students are trained on working with seniors and becoming entrepreneurs in their own right. "Teens have found compassion in their lives through this program," Doyle said. "Being a GlamourGals volunteer is being a good listener."
