Niwot's Leonard Sitongia honored for volunteer work

Niwot resident Leonard Sitongia was selected as one of seven volunteers to be recognized by Boulder County during National Volunteer Week.

Sitongia, who serves on the board of directors of the Niwot Community Association and the Niwot Historical Society, was recognized for his work with the Community Planning and Permitting Department’s Mobility for All Technology Ambassador Program. He has donated over 200 hours to the M4A program.

For his efforts, Sitongia received a grant of $900 to support his continued work on the M4A program. Sitongia received a Left Hand Laurel on Sept. 9, 2020, in part for his work on this project. At the time, he was quoted in the Courier by reporter Vicky Dorvee, explaining the project: "We teach people who are low income and/or mobility impaired to use mobile phone applications to make using alternative transportation easier to access.”

Volunteers were nominated by county departments based on their work during 2021, and a committee selected the seven award-winners from among those nominated.
