Honouring Young Women for Volunteer Action

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 Bonnie McLaren Award! The Award recognizes young women who make the community and world a better place through volunteer efforts.

The Bonnie McLaren Award!

The Award recognizes young women who have provided service to the community, made it an important part of their education, identified social or economic issues that are important to them in their community and taken positive action to address these issues through volunteer efforts.

If you think you would make a good Bonnie McLaren Award candidate, we want to hear from you! Please complete an application and tell us about your volunteer action.

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