You might not know our name ‘Soroptimist’, but you know our work. We are the professional and retired women of Greater North Kitsap who–like our counterparts worldwide–are dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls in our own communities. While men and women are both worthy of help in overcoming obstacles, studies show that programs which improve the lives of women and girls lead to social and economic improvement for entire families, neighborhoods, tribes, and cities.
