GlamourGals is a nonprofit organization founded in the year 2000 with the goal of alleviating the problem of loneliness among the elderly. GlamourGals Stuyvesant Chapter will partner with a local senior home to organize and participate in regular social events such as makeovers/manicures, note/card making, cookie decorating, flower distribution, carol singing/karaoke, etc. The Stuyvesant Chapter will also receive from the GlamourGals foundation leadership training, disposable beauty supplies, club Tshirts, and various resources and advice on working with seniors. Club members are expected to attend weekly meetings, attend leadership training, participate in events hosted by the club, and engage with seniors at their care facilities. Community service hours will be offered. The positive impact of this program is two-fold. Elderly residents who are often lonely and isolated gain a renewed sense of community and self-worth because of volunteer visits. Members develop important leadership skills, as they learn to demonstrate empathy and compassion while interacting with seniors. Over half the seniors living in residential care are not visited, we have the power to change this!
