The Yvette Depestre Award
The Yvette Depestre Award for Commitment to Volunteer Service has been established by her son, Richard Albert, to honor his mother’s lifelong devotion to the service of others. The Yvette Depestre Award is presented annually to a graduating student at Gloucester High School in Ottawa, Canada, according to three criteria: financial need, a demonstrated commitment to volunteer service, and a possible career interest in health care.
