Soroptimist International 

Soroptimist means "the best for women". Soroptimist International is the largest professional women's service club in the world committed to enhancing the lives of women and girls!. 

Founded in 1987, Soroptimist International of Raleigh, NC is a local club of Soroptimist International of America, an international volunteer service organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. Raleigh members join with almost 95,000 Soroptimists in about 120 countries and territories to contribute time and financial support to community-based projects benefiting women. The Raleigh club helps women seeking employment and who are referred by a partner agency by providing business appropriate clothing at no cost through the Professional Clothing Closet. Locally we also support several initiatives for prevention of domestic violence.  In addition, at the local, regional and International levels we award grants to female heads-of-household returning to school to improve the lives of themselves and their children. Internationally, we work with Women for Women International to empower refugee women in war-torn countries through counseling, training, mentoring and micro-loans.

Our members are professional women with business, management or executive skills who have a heart for service. To accomplish our goals each member takes an active role in fundraising and hands-on service projects, all as volunteers.
