Young Women of Achievement
In 1985, YWCA created an awards program to recognize young women for their volunteerism, commitment to community, and leadership. Since then, we have honored more than 240 students from Clark County high schools for their efforts to build a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant place to live. We are fortunate to offer scholarships as part of the awards because of the generous contributions of Soroptimist International of Vancouver.
We are dedicated to recognizing the efforts of community members who support our mission through leadership and community involvement.
Each year, we are excited to be able to provide an academic scholarship for young women in the 12th grade. Young Women of Achievement Scholarship applicants identify as a female student enrolled in the 12th grade at a Clark County high school.
