Education and Economic Empowerment: "The future of women and girls".
Who We Are
Recognizing the enormity of the challenges our society faces, Soroptimist International of Saddleback Valley is dedicated to making a lasting impact. We are a global volunteer network of like-minded women working to create a world where women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams.
Our focus is on 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
able to raise stronger, healthier families
Local Empowerment
Feeling like there are countless pressing issues with no single solution making a marked difference? Soroptimist's are focusing on our two specific programs: The "Live Your Dream Awards®" and The "Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls®."
The community support has proven to be a powerful tool for Soroptimist International of Saddleback Valley to successfully serve women and girls and improve countless lives.
