Julianna Margulies is already a L’Oréal Paris spokesperson, but the actress is expanding her role, signing on as the ambassador for the company’s Women of Worth awards.

The program, inspired by the brand’s iconic “Because You’re Worth It” tagline, is in its seventh year and honors and celebrates inspiring women who are making a difference in their communities.

“I was well aware of the importance of the brand’s Women of Worth program,” Margulies tells PEOPLE. “It wasn’t until this past December at the awards ceremony, however, that I was able to truly see firsthand how this initiative is changing lives.”

Every year the program selects 10 women from across the country who have dedicated their lives to volunteerism and charitable efforts. “These women were so extraordinary and exceptional and most of these women you’d hear their stories and think, that’s when you quit,” the Good Wife actress adds to WWD. “Instead they persevered and not only helped other women but changed their communities, changed medical research, helped other women get jobs.”

She may play a doting mom to her television son and daughter on CBS’ “The Good Wife,” but in real life Julianna Margulies has a far more practical view on parenting.

“I’d love to go back to the stage, but I don’t think I will until my son [four-year-old Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal] is in high school and doesn’t want me around on weekends,” Margulies said Wednesday at New York’s New Museum, where L’Oréal Paris revealed her as ambassador for its Women of Worth program.

“When I was single without a child, doing theater was awesome,” the eight-time Screen Actors’ Guild Award and two-time Emmy Award winner continues. “But to do a Saturday matinee, Saturday performance and Sunday matinee, I think is very hard on a family life. I hear that when [kids] become high schoolers they don’t want you around on the weekends so I figure by then I’ll be able to do that.”
