Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about Soroptimist International of Greater Bremerton Area.

Founded in 1944, our club is part of a global women's organization whose members volunteer to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. The organization is particularly concerned with providing women and girls access to education, as this is the most effective path to self-determination.

The name, Soroptimist, means "best for women", and that's what we strive to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best, working to help other women and girls to be their best.

In addition to providing women and girls with access to education, we sponsor or support programs and projects that benefit low-income women, homeless families, teenage girls, and victims of abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking. We also participate in organization-wide programs including:

As you browse our site and learn about our club and what we do, please consider joining us and help us continue to make a difference in the lives of women and girls in the Greater Bremerton Area and surrounding communities.
