Live Your Dream:  Education & Training Awards for Women

It's not enough to celebrate “girl power” without also providing examples of strength. We can’t tell girls they can change the world without equipping them to take on the task. We provide Live Your Dream awards for women who are the sole support of their family, and wish to further their education and economic standing in today’s world.


Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls 

gives girls the tools they need to achieve their education and career goals, empowering them to break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse.

Although all girls face barriers because of their gender, we prioritize working with girls who have additional obstacles including poverty, unstable home lives, living in foster care, or teen motherhood. Soroptimist clubs work in partnership with girls in small groups or a conference setting to provide them with the information and resources they want and need to be successful.

Campaign to End Domestic Violence

Established in 1994, the Soroptimist Workplace Campaign to End Domestic Violence is an ongoing effort to raise awareness about a seldom addressed domestic violence issue: domestic violence as a workplace concern.

 

Sex Trafficking of Women and Young Girls.

Soroptimist has partnered, in an on-going effort, with the Center for a Non-Violent Community here in Tuolumne County to bring an end to Domestic Violence in this County.


Women Saluting Women

Each year since 2008 our club has hosted a luncheon with the sole purpose of honoring local women veterans from all world conflicts. It has become a very popular event with more than 50 local Women Veterans participating. In 2021, during the COVID 19 pandemic we joined with Sonora Area Foundation and donated $2000 to ATCAA to honor the women veterans who have had a history of attending our luncheons. This year, we are planning for a LIVE luncheon again with details to follow.
