Our Mission, Values, and 2031 Education Goal

 

Our 2021–2031 Big Goal : Invest in the dreams of half a million women and girls through access to education.

 

Vision and mission

Women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams. Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment.

 

Core values

• Education. Women and girls deserve access to education so they can lead full and productive lives.

• Empowerment. Women and girls are free to act in their own best interest.

• Diversity and fellowship. Women with varied backgrounds and perspectives work together to improve the lives of women and girls.

• Gender equality. Women and girls live free from discrimination.

 

Strategic outcomes

• Impact. Expand participation in the Dream Programs, evaluate their impact, provide more financial support, explore partnerships and other ways to deliver programs, and raise awareness of Big Goal Accelerator Projects. This work helps women and girls facing barriers such as poverty, violence, and teen pregnancy.

• Engagement. Prepare members for leadership, improve the club experience, support new clubs, recruit and retain members, and explore new ways to participate.

• Philanthropy. Improve the donor experience, grow and diversify individual and major gifts, reach donors outside membership, and work with the board and volunteers to raise funds from members and clubs.

• Brand recognition. Coordinate communications and digital marketing, help local clubs raise awareness, follow brand standards, and plan the first phase of a website redesign.

• Sustainability. Improve long-term financial stability, simplify financial practices, and invest in technology and records management to protect data, build stronger relationships, and track progress.
