What’s a Soroptimist?
Women at their best, working to help other women to be their best.
Soroptimist was formed in 1921 in Oakland, California, at a time when women were not permitted to join service organizations. Our name, loosely translated from Latin, means best for women. Today, Soroptimist International of Americas has about 1,300 clubs in countries across North America, Latin America and the Pacific Rim who work to economically empower women and girls.
