This year Soroptimist International of Grass Valley has partnered with Silver Springs Highschool.
The Silver Springs project began with a shared vision focused on higher education, life skills, and job readiness. Working closely with school administration, SIGV has started by supporting students with upcoming scholarship deadlines. So far, four students have received help with scholarship essays and are preparing to submit applications in mid-January. Two plan to attend Sierra College, while two are pursuing vocational paths, with one already accepted. All students have shown strong commitment and enthusiasm throughout the process!
SIGV is grateful for the welcoming partnership with Silver Springs and inspired by the kindness and resilience of its students. In the coming months, we’ll continue supporting them through Sierra Colllege campus visits, a personal finance presentation, and job readiness activities, including application support and mock interviews.
