Bright Futures for Youth Executive Director Singer receives Women of Persistence Award
Bright Futures for Youth Executive Director Jennifer Singer was recently honored with the Women’s Caucus of the League of California Cities’ Women of Persistence Award.
The annual award celebrates women who have persisted in their efforts for equality, change, growth and improvement in their communities.
Jan Arbuckle, Vice Mayor of Grass Valley and former President of the California League of Cities, presented the award to Singer on Wednesday, March 23, during Bright Futures for Youth’s Power of the Purse fundraising event. More than 300 people attended the luncheon.
Singer has been addressing challenges and developing forward-thinking solutions for children and young adults in Nevada County for more than 25 years. She co-founded The Friendship Club in 1995, formed SAFE in 2019 and Bright Futures for Youth in 2020, which was created with the merger of NEO.
