Soroptimist International of Kirkcaldy
Who Are We?
Soroptimists are “women working together to make a differenceâ€.
The first Soroptimist Club was founded in Oakland, California in 1921 by 80 passionate women. Little did they know that from this small beginning would grow a family of 95,000 sisters around the globe, which makes us the world’s largest classified service organisation for women.
The word Soroptimist comes from the Latin words soror meaning ‘sister’ and optima meaning ‘best’ and loosely translates as ‘best for women’.
Our Vision
Soroptimist International is a vibrant, dynamic organisation for today’s professional and business women. We are committed to a world where women and girls together achieve their individual and collective potential, realise aspirations and have an equal voice in creating strong and peaceful communities worldwide.
