Hey Mac! Welcome to the GlamourGals Mackenzie Chapter! GlamourGals is a national nonprofit organization that connects high school students with senior homes in their communities, and inspires conversation and companionship. Pre-Covid, students would come to senior homes once a month to give residents free beauty makeovers (do their makeup and paint their nails), and just talk to them. Of course this is not possible at the moment due to the rising number of Covid cases, so instead, students now do virtual activities with residents of senior homes. These include things like doing crafts together virtually, playing virtual games, doing trivia, having a monthly book club, just talking over Zoom, and many other things based on what the seniors want. The meetings with the senior home would be once a month. Students will get volunteer hours from GlamourGals for anything they do for the club.

Our goal is to foster an open-minded school environment where students can freely talk about the issues that matter to them, without fear of judgement. Major issues are addressed all the time at school and in the media, but mostly, we just scratch the surface of these deeply complex topics. To start a conversation about the deeper aspects of these issues and more, every week we will be hosting an open discussion for a specific topic that is often overlooked (with some info slides provided for context). We also understand that learning about these issues can lead to a feeling of helplessness. That is why members will be encouraged to do an assigned task to raise awareness for the topic of the week. As well, actions are just as important as conversations, so the club will host several charity events throughout the year to support movements chosen by our members.
