Women and girls will have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams.
Our Mission
Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.
What We Do
Soroptimist believes the most effective way to empower women and girls is by providing them with access to education. Educated women and girls are far more likely to realize their potential.
Soroptimist’s Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards forWomen annually disburses nearly $1.9 million in education grants to more than 1,300 women who have overcome enormous personal obstacles.
Dream It *Be It is the other signature program of Soroptimist International. Dream It *Be It will help girls grow up to be strong, successful, happy adults. Dream It, Be It targets girls in secondary school who face obstacles to their future success. It provides girls with access to professional role models, career education and the resources to live their dreams.
