Soroptimist Desert Tucson

Soroptimist Desert Tucson is a service club of women volunteers helping disadvantaged Tucson women and teen girls complete their education. We focus on education because it is recognized as the most effective path for empowering women to advance socially and economically. With education, we can create better lives for ourselves, our families and our communities. Our goal is to help make that possible for more Tucson women. Our mission as Soroptimists is to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Women are economically empowered when they have control over their own finances and wellbeing, and when they have a voice in the financial decisions to shape their lives and the lives of their families. Women are socially empowered when they have a personal sense of autonomy, self-confidence, and the power to control their private and public lives. The name, Soroptimist, means 'best for women,' and that's what the organization strives to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best working to help other women to be their best. Our Tucson club is part of a global non-profit organization of about 75,000 women volunteers making Dreams possible in more than 120 countries around the world.
