In 2007 Dr. Frankel founded Bloom Again as a way to provide women and girls in financial need with assistance when they need it most. Bloom Again is funded through the sale of art work and crafts donated by people like you. Visit the Bloom Again website for more information about the ways in which you can lend a hand. Make a contribution of $150 or more and Dr. Frankel will thank you with an autographed copy of her most recent book, See Jane Lead.
In 1986 Dr. Frankel was instrumental in founding MOSTE: Motivating Our Students Through Experience. With the strong conviction that achieving a diverse workforce requires encouraging at-risk girls to stay in school and go on to college, she developed a mentoring program that matches Los Angeles inner city girls with professional women. In 1996 she established the first MOSTE scholarship and gives a portion of royalties from her books to the MOSTE Scholarship Fund. In 2006 she co-chaired MOSTE’s 20th Anniversary Celebration honoring women who inspire girls, raising over $20,000. She was recognized for her volunteer efforts with MOSTE through Maybelline New York’s Women Who Empower Through Education Award and a $10,000 grant for the organization.
MOSTE mentees make new friends and learn new skills at the annual retreat.
This is the first time many girls have ever been to the Santa Monica mountains despite the fact they live only 10 miles away.

The after-effects of chemotherapy for breast cancer affected Dr. Frankel's hair more than her passion for MOSTE. Seen here making a presentation at MOSTE's 20th Anniversary Celebration.
Whenever and wherever possible, Dr. Frankel provides pro bono keynote and motivational presentations to organizations that share her commitment to empowering women and girls. This picture shows her with a group of Indonesian children at the Sutaadmadja School in Subang.
