Why Women & Girls? >
​Soroptimist International was founded in 1921, in Oakland California. On that date, 80 working women representing such professions as medicine, law, laboratory, technology, printing and haberdashery, joined together to “foster the ideal of service.”

From that small beginning, the organization has grown to some 70,000 members in over 120 countries of the world. Service remains the heart of our organization.
