About Soroptimist
Women at their best, working to help other women to be their best
Meeting With A Purpose
Our Vision – Women and Girls have the opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams
Our Mission – Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.
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 the Latin, means best for women. Internationally, Soroptimist has about 66,000 members in 120 countries and territories throughout the world.
Soroptimist International of Vallejo was chartered on October 20, 1939, with goals to address health, safety, employment and educational needs specific to women and girls. In the 80-plus years since, we continue to focus on those goals locally, nationally and internationally. In new and creative ways we are women who live their dreams of serving their community, developing friendships, and enhancing leadership skills. We strive to be women at our best helping other women to be their best. Together we know that we can make a difference!
Meeting With A Purpose – We meet Mondays at 12 noon in a variety of ways. Some are Zoom only. Some are a hybrid of Zoom and in person. We may have guest speakers from the community, plan events and actions, or just take time to be together. Please check the calendar tab for what’s happening and how to contact us.
