Soroptimist International of Quincy, an international volunteer organization, announced it is seeking
applicants for its Violet Richardson Community Service Award.
The Soroptimist recognition award of $250 is available to high school students in grades nine through 12 at Quincy Junior-Senior High School, Plumas Charter School’s Quincy Learning Center, and Portola Junior-Senior High School.
Applications are available from each high school counselor or from Sue Gutierrez at [email protected]. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, March 13.
The service award is named after Violet Richardson, the founder and president of the first Soroptimist Club, in 1921, who strongly believed in personal responsibility and volunteer action. Soroptimist believes that recognizing young students’ community service now will encourage them to become vital, active members of their communities as adults.
