We Are Soroptimist
Soroptimist International of Alhambra, San Gabriel, San Marino strives to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world by raising awareness of their needs and obstacles to success, and by providing services and support to achieve their dreams.
Our History
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.
Our Mission
Soroptimists transform the lives and status of women and girls through education, empowerment and enabling opportunities.
Our Vision
Is a community of diverse, dynamic and dedicated leaders who empower women and girls to achieve their full potential and have an equal global voice.
“There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
Amanda Gorman, Poet and Activist
Campaign
We have set a goal through our Dream Big Campaign of investing in the dreams of half a million women and girls.
