    Description

    WGIRLS Project G.L.A.M. Event 2026

    Join us for Project G.L.A.M., WGIRLS' annual event dedicated to empowering economically underserved young adults by providing them with everything they need to feel confident and beautiful on their prom night. Volunteers will play a crucial role in making this experience possible for students across New York City.

    Since its inception, WGIRLS Inc. has helped over 15,000 young men and women from Title I schools attend their prom, free of charge. These students, selected by counselors, social workers, shelter coordinators, and other school staff, receive prom dresses, suits, shoes, makeup, and accessories that allow them to shine on one of the most memorable nights of their lives.

    Volunteer Responsibilities Include:

    • Set-Up (April 24, 2026): Help prepare the venue by organizing dresses, suits, shoes, makeup stations, and accessories in preparation for the event. Volunteers will assist with decorating and creating an inviting atmosphere for the students.
    • Event Day (April 25, 2026): Support students as they select their prom outfits, assist with fittings, provide styling advice, and help with makeup and accessory stations. Volunteers will also help with logistics, making sure the event runs smoothly and efficiently.

    Why Volunteer with Project G.L.A.M.?

    • Make a tangible difference in the lives of young adults by helping them attend their senior prom.
    • Be part of an uplifting, community-driven event that fosters confidence, pride, and self-esteem for students who may not have access to these resources otherwise.
    • Meet and connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about giving back to the community.

    How to Volunteer:

    Volunteers can sign up for a set-up shift on April 24th or for one or more shifts on the event day, April 25th. Please visit our website or contact us for more information and to register.

    Together, we can ensure that every student in need across NYC has the opportunity to attend their prom and feel proud, confident, and celebrated.
