Self-Care for "Glam" Mom

About Rachel Doyle, GlamourGals Founder And CEO

Rachel Doyle is the Founder and CEO of GlamourGals Foundation. Combining her compassion
and love of beauty, she created a unique program that fosters intergenerational connections
while developing empathetic leadership skills in teens. Over 25 years, Rachel has deftly steered
the organization through challenges, including financial downturns and global pandemics, all
while ensuring that in some years 95% of funding supports its core mission. She is transforming
the organization into a global movement to end elder isolation and loneliness. With
headquarters in New York City, GlamourGals now mobilizes over 2,000 teen volunteers in 31
states and 150 communities across the continent, having inspired more than 10,000
compassionate leaders throughout North America since 2000.
Rachel founded the GlamourGals Foundation in 2000 as a junior in high school in honor of her
grandmother who had recently passed away. Unable to regularly visit her grandmother who
lived in a senior home across the country, she realized there were women in the senior homes
in her local community who also were not receiving regular visits from their families.
Rachel’s social entrepreneurship was recognized by the Sally Hansen and Glamour Magazine
“Best of You” Award in 2015, the Richard C. Cornuelle Social Entrepreneurship Innovation
Award (now Civil Society Award), Manhattan Institute for Policy Research in 2011, and the
First-ever CosmoGIRL! of the year in 2001.
GlamourGals has been widely covered by top national press outlets. Rachel has appeared on
The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Montel Williams Show, CBS The Early Show, and The TODAY
Show, and has been featured in Oprah Magazine, The New York Times, The Chronicle of
Philanthropy, and SAP’s “Going Good: Learning for Life” podcast series. The GlamourGals
program and Rachel’s leadership style have been included in the following books: “Get It
Together” by Lauren Berger, McGraw Hill 7th Grade Health Textbook, and a Prentice Hall
College Management textbook.
Known as an inspirational speaker, Rachel is regularly invited to share her expertise on the topic
of leadership skills development at conferences, schools, trade organizations, and business
groups, including Harvard University, Cornell University, University of Southern California, Hugh
O’Brian Youth Leadership, HSBC, and OMD Worldwide.
She holds a B.S. in Policy Analysis and Management from Cornell University, as well as an
Entrepreneurship Certificate from The Bank of America Institute for Women's Entrepreneurship
at Cornell University.
