Since 2015, Soroptimist International of Los Angeles (SILA) has presented Dream It Be It: Career Support for Girls, a program designed to help girls in secondary school who face obstacles to achieving their future goals. The program provides access to professional role models, career education, and valuable resources to help girls envision and pursue successful futures.

Soroptimist’s goal is to empower girls with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to overcome barriers and break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse. Over the years, SILA has offered both one-day workshops and small-group mentoring sessions to support girls on their journey toward brighter futures.

In 2027, Soroptimist members will host a one-day Dream It Be It Girls Conference specifically for high school girls throughout the greater Los Angeles community. The conference will provide encouragement, career guidance, and opportunities to connect with positive role models. Special outreach will focus on girls in foster care and those receiving services through the Department of Children and Family Services.

Our friend, Nina Smart, asked us to share this about the Pentagon School in Sierra Leone (Africa) that opened with help from Soroptimists Worldwide:

The children at the Pentagon school in Freetown are happy to return to school in September - Girls are protected from FGM and they're receiving Quality education that's supported by Soroptimists in Denmark. Thanks to the hard work of Soroptimists, our teachers salaries are paid regularly thus ensuring that the parents in the Pentagon community where their children to go to school.

At this time we seek funding for uniforms. Your generous gift will allow girls and boys to continue to stay in school, not undergo FGM and not be married early by their families.

Education not mutilation!
