We are a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.
Our programs help women achieve economic independence, increasing their ability to leave behind domestic violence, trafficking, and other situations resulting from financial insecurity.
Our monthly community presentations are open to the public to help raise awareness of key issues (and the people working hard to address them!) related to economic insecurity faced by women and girls in our community.
While Soroptimist was originally formed as a women-only club, today we welcome all community members to join us in our mission. If you are passionate about the rights and well-being of the women in our community, you’ve found the right club!
Don’t have the bandwidth to invest your time in our mission? Donate today, and we’ll ensure your dollars are put to good use in supporting women who are coming out of life’s most difficult situations, into a new and brighter future. Our causes: Women’s Education, Anti-trafficking, Intimate partner Violence, the challenges faced by single mothers, and the issue of period poverty.
