The
International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a golden opportunity for
teenage girls to gain self-confidence, self respect and leadership skills
while practicing reverence, patriotism, love an d service.
It
is NOT a religion, cult or secret order. Nor is it connected with any other
group using "rainbow" in their name or logo.
The
Order is a non-profit, character building, service organization for girls
between the ages of 11 and 20 who believe in a Supreme Being. It is open
to all girls regardless of their religious belief. The teachings are non-sectarian,
based on the seven lessons taught to the girls at their initiation ceremony-Love,
Religion, Nature, Immortality, Fidelity, Patriotism and Service. Each of
these are represented by a color of the Rainbow; therefore, seven colors
represent the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, not six used
by others.There are also teachings of Faith, Hope and Charity. Take together,
the beautiful lessons of Rainbow guide a young girl into a better life.
Service
is what the international Order of the Rainbow for Girls is all about.
It is provided in many way; assisting financially in such worthwhile projects
as Shriner's Hospital playground, Cystic Fibrosis, Make-a-Wish Foundation,
Canine Companions for Independence and the American Melanoma Foundation,
just to name a few.
Each
assembly may choose to do this by selling candy, serving dinners, car washes,
bake sales, rock or swim-a-thons-whatever the member's imagination create.
In
the past ten years, California Rainbow Girls have earned and donated to
non-profit organizations more the $950,000.
Becoming a Rainbow Girl
can change your life for the better!
Let it be a part of your
life!
