Soroptimist is an organization of women who use their collective power to provide other women and girls with the resources and opportunities they need to reach their full potential and live their dreams. Our unique focus on women and girls provides the opportunity to make a better world for ourselves, our daughters and the generations of women to come. Collectively, Soroptimist has helped more than 30,000 women reach their goals and live their dreams through our Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards for Women, by providing access to education and skills-training. Our club‘s “Professional Clothing Closet” project, which provides gently used clothing to women who need office attire for job interviews, is just one of the ways we are directly affecting the lives of the women in our local community.
