What does Soroptimist mean?
Soroptimists are a worldwide network of women supporting women and girls to achieve their ambitions and improve their lives.
Through volunteering, fundraising, awareness and advocacy, we work together to Educate, Empower and Enable - while building friendships and having fun along the way.
As part of a global movement with a voice at the United Nations, we also support initiatives such as Orange the World, raising awareness and taking action to end violence against women and girls.
Together we make a difference.
