What is this award? Violet Richardson was the first President of the first Soroptimist Club 100 years ago. She was a teacher. In honor of Violet, this award recognizes young women, ages 14-18, for demonstrating leadership by identifying an issue that is important to them in their communities and the world and addressing it through their volunteer efforts. Leadership for these girls is defined as having identified a social, political and/or economic need, locally or globally, and taking action to address the need and bring about positive change.
