We are Soroptimist.

Soroptimist Seattle-Metropolitan is a group of dedicated volunteers in a global network organization that provides women and girls with access to the education, training, and support they need to achieve economic empowerment.

Help us sow the seeds of hope.

Nearly 100 Years of Service

Established in 1925, Soroptimist International of Seattle Metropolitan (SISM) celebrates 99 years of professional women-supporting programs to improve the lives of women and girls. Thanks to the generosity of our friends and donors, the club has continued this work, including:

  • mentoring young women as they plan for life beyond high school,

  • provide grants to women pursuing degrees in higher education,

  • assist women re-entering society after prison or addiction treatment,

  • provide holiday gifts to senior women living on the margins,

  • support programs helping at-risk youth into safe housing.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

— Margaret Meade
