OWLS of Novato

The O.W.L.S. is an S-club sponsored by Soroptimist International of Novato. It started in 2020 in partnership with the Novato Unified School District.  The OWLS, (Opportunity for Women in Leadership and Service) are high school students mentored in leadership and community service by Soroptimist members who serve as advisors.

 

Some of the OWLS projects include:

  • Held a toiletries' drive in the fall for the San Marin HS Wellness Center.

  • Made fall pumpkins and wreaths in partnership with Novato Villages. 

  • Created handmade holiday cards to bring joy to Novato seniors. 

  • Invited Speakers to talk about personal growth and opportunities.

  • Baked Valentine’s Day cookies for seniors at the Villas at Hamilton. 

  • Sponsored a collection of coats, jackets and other warm items to assist with Operation Warm Winter

We are so proud of Grace, she joined the OWLS as a freshman and founding member of the Club. She stayed with us all four years becoming president in her senior year. She was awarded a $500 check at the 2025 San Marin Senior Awards Night. She was also chosen as the Soroptimist Regional recipient. The committee said they chose her because her dedication to service and leadership qualities stood out among the other candidates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Soroptimist OWLS' Club (Opportunities for Women in Leadership and Service) on campus at Novato's San Marin High School has again created holiday cards for seniors and shut-ins in the community. This is an annual event and much liked by the students and seniors alike.
