In 1921, eighty women in Oakland built the first Soroptimist club — because they wanted to serve, and the men's service clubs wouldn't let them in.
More than a century later, that spirit is alive in Clovis. We're a chapter of Soroptimist International of the Americas — a global volunteer organization providing women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.
We meet, we fundraise, we mentor, and we show up for our community — turning friendship and purpose into real opportunities for the women and girls of the Central Valley.
Our events are how we fund the awards and programs that change lives — and they're a wonderful time. Come join us.
