100 Stargazers, 100 Days

Beginning at region conferences, until July 9, join over 100 donors who have supported the Dream Big Campaign through a monthly Stargazer gift! The 100 Stargazers in 100Days campaign is an opportunity for us to come together to support our Big Goal of investing in the dreams of a half million women and girls through access to education.

Celebrate Volunteer Week

Volunteer Week is coming! The week is an opportunity to recognize our members who go above and beyond every day for the women and girls we serve. Look for a special email the week of April 16-22 and check out our social channels where we will be celebrating our members!

Day in the Life of a Soroptimist

As we get ready to celebrate volunteer week, we want to know what it’s like in the day of the life of a Soroptimist. Please share stories, photos, videos using the hashtag #SIAVolunteerWeek.

A Successful International Women's Day

Thank you to Rosemarie, Barbara, and the over 100 supporters who gave in honor of International Women’s Day! Because of your generosity we have raised $32,000 to support our life-changing Dream Programs!

Staff Member for a Day

This past November, SIA held an online auction to support the Dream Big Campaign. SI/Staten Island, NY (North Atlantic Region), member Lauren A. won the highest bid for the “Soroptimist Staff Member for a Day” virtual experience. In addition to a SIA store gift card, Lauren participated in a meet and greet with executive director Michelle Burnett and the executive leadership team, and met with each pillar area department—program, membership, marketing and fundraising. Lauren participated in a hands-on activity with the marketing team to create this image, which will also appear on our social channels and blog. Thanks, Lauren, we hope you enjoyed being a staff member for a day!
