Hi Diamond family!


As we proudly step into our 22nd year of service, we are honored to celebrate under the powerful theme, Diamonds Are Forever. Just as a diamond is timeless, resilient, and unbreakable, so too is the impact of Diamond In The Rough.


For more than two decades, we’ve been on a mission to transform the world—one child, one family, one community at a time. And as we look ahead, this theme reminds us that the brilliance of our work doesn’t fade. Every life touched, every bond built, every leader developed continues to shine across generations.


Diamonds Are Forever is more than a theme—it is a declaration that the legacy of transformation, confidence, and community we are building will endure for years to come. Together, we will keep shining brightly and proving that diamonds truly are forever.


As we kick off our year long focus, we would love to share YOUR story as part of our Diamonds Are Forever celebration. Whether you’re a current member, alumna, mentor, or supporter, your voice matters—and your story will inspire the next generation of girls and families.

Don’t worry about being perfect—just be real. Speak from your heart. Remember, your journey is a reflection of the brilliance inside you, and we can’t wait to hear how Diamond In The Rough has made an impact in your life.

 

To make it easy we have provided a few prompts to jumpstart your creativity. You can answer just one question, or as many as you like. Here are a few to get you started:


  • The Diamond Journey – Share a time when DITR helped you shine brighter or overcome a challenge.
  • Forever Connected – Tell us about a favorite memory from your time in the program.
  • From Rough to Radiant – How has DITR impacted your confidence, character, or calling?
  • Legacy of Brilliance – Who made a lasting impact on you here, and how are you paying that forward?
  • Shine Through the Years – What does being part of Diamond In The Rough mean to you today?


If possible, we also invite you to start or end your video with “I am ____, and I am forever a Diamond” or “ I am _______ and I’m proof that Diamonds Are Forever”.


Using your phone, simply capture a brief 1-2 minute video and upload it here. For those who are little shy, you can submit your story in writing using the same link. The content you provide will help us in telling the story of the impact the organization has made in the lives of people over the past 22 years.
