"Rainbow taught to me speak in front of crowds with a lot more confidence than before because of the love from the girls and adults. Rainbow isn't just an after school, service hour thing you do, it's family, it's my home. I can walk to a room my assembly gets excited to see me. Even my sister assembly, Camellia, gets excited too even though I can't visit them as often as I would like. They showed me what it means to love someone purely." -Melissa, 18.
“I believe that Rainbow gives girls and adults the chance to do something that maybe they wouldn't do in their normal life. It gives little girls the chance to be princesses! And it gives the adults the chance to be a mother or father to the princess that they know their little girl could be! The only reason I joined was because my mother wanted me to have the same experience that she had when she was in Rainbow! And I can't thank her enough for "forcing" me to join this fantastic organization! I can't imagine not having Rainbow in my life!” - Claire, 20

"Rainbow has taught me many things, but the most important is to be myself. In Rainbow we all come from different families, and all have our own uniqueness, but we're all accepted no matter what. Being yourself, is the best version you can be." - Josie, 20
