Welcome to the Southern Region Website!
Hurricane’s Helene and Milton: 10/12/2 4
Despite many of our region’s members being without power and experiencing minor home damage, two clubs on the West Coast of Florida have been significantly affected. We are immensely grateful that none of our members or their families sustained physical injuries during the storms. Soroptimists are resilient women, and the cleanup process is already underway.
Recovery for these communities will take a considerable amount of time. The needs of women and girls supported by these clubs have increased, while fundraising capabilities have diminished. If you wish to help, the links are provided below. Even a simple note or card is greatly appreciated during this time of recovery.
Our Vision
Women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams
Our Mission
Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment

Soroptimist International of the Americas
In 2012, SIA adopted the Big Goal of Increased Collective Impact to guide our decisions, programs and activities at all levels of the organization. An African proverb states: “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” TOGETHER we want to accomplish something greater than anything we could accomplish on our own as individuals or in our clubs. We want to ensure women and girls can live their dreams!
Our previous Big Goal of Increased Collective Impact propelled us to help women and girls to live their dreams. And it prepared us for success in our 2021-2031 Big Goal: Invest in the Dreams of Half a Million Women and Girls through Access to Education. The Dream Big Campaign will raise the financial resources needed to help us achieve our Big Goal. Learn more about it HERE!
