At Soroptimist, we work to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. We administer several programs including education grants for women, volunteer opportunities, and campaigns against obstacles facing women, including sex trafficking and domestic violence.
Join us today and you’ll belong to a movement whose Members are a collective voice for women. We are an NGO with special consultative status at the United Nations (UN) through the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
If this sounds like you, then we need your creativity, your ideas, your inspiration to help us with our programs. Have you got ideas on what you think is missing within the community to help women live in the most fulfilling and supportive way possible? We would love to hear what you think.
