    It’s What You Do That Counts!

     

    Are you a young woman between the ages of 14 and 17 who volunteers in your community or school?

     

    Who sees challenges instead of obstacles? Hope instead of despair? If you are a young woman who believes in the power of volunteer action, then you may be eligible to win a Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award.

     

    The Violet Richardson Award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts such as: fighting drugs, crime and violence; cleaning up the environment; and working to end discrimination and poverty. Volunteer actions that benefit women or girls are of particular interest.

     

    Soroptimist is an organization of women whose members volunteer in their communities, often working on the same problems that you do. Although we realize that volunteering is its own reward, we also know it feels good to be recognized for your actions. And that’s why we sponsor this award.

     

    The Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award Program

     

    If you think you would make a good Violet Richardson Award candidate, please complete this application and tell us about your volunteer action. Send it to the local Soroptimist club listed on the application.

     

    Good luck! And, even if you don’t win a Violet Richardson Award, we applaud your efforts to make your community and the world a better place.
