Mission Statement
Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization whose mission is to provide women and girls with access to the education and training needed to achieve economic empowerment. Our focus is education because educated women and girls are less vulnerable to sex traffickers, more likely to leave a domestic violence situation and not return, able to access healthcare, less likely to live in poverty and able to raise stronger healthier families. Our vision is that women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams.
About This Cause
Soroptimist International of Sacramento (SIS) is in its 101st year of service, helping women and girls live their dreams as well as supporting the Sacramento community. While the longevity of the club is quite a milestone, SIS is most proud of the impact it has made in the lives of women, girls and in the community. SIS is the fourth oldest club of Soroptimist International, a global volunteer organization of 1,500 clubs worldwide with a mission to provide women and girls with access to the education and training needed to achieve economic empowerment. This diverse group of women offers two Dream programs that are uniquely Soroptimist. Through the Dream It, Be It program, they provide career mentoring and life skills for girls. They provide annual Live Your Dream financial awards to female heads of household bettering themselves through college or vocational schools. In line with the mission and focus on education, SIS has a long history of providing annual scholarships. Each year, they award approximately $20,000 for deserving women continuing their education despite obstacles. SIS has also developed a Money Matters course teaching financial responsibility to women in the Sacramento Area. SIS has been very active in the community during its 100 year history, identifying and filling needs through a broad range of activities and projects. They support organizations that are aligned with the Soroptimist mission such as Saint John’s Program for Real Change and My Sister’s House.
