At only 18, local teen Simone Bernstein (featured in SLM's December 2009 issue) has been acknowledged as one of L'Oreal Paris' Women of Worth, a recognition given to only 10 women across the United States who are improving their communities. Bernstein's cause is stlvolunteen.com, a website she founded in 2009 that lists dozens of local volunteering opportunities for teens. As part of the national recognition, L'Oréal Paris gave Bernstein $5,000, which she donated to funding future youth and family volunteer fairs at The Magic House. Now, she has a chance to win a $25,000 grant if she's voted as the 2010 Women of Worth Honoree. Through November 24, you can vote for her here.
