The first Soroptimist club was formed in 1921 by a group of 80 women in Oakland, Alemeda County, California.  They chose their name from two Latin words meaning "best for women".

Soroptimists today continue the work begun by their predecessors.  The heart of Soroptimist's mission is to "make a difference for women" through volunteer service to the community.  Projects are carefully chosen to address challenges unique to today's women.
