Our Projects

Soroptimist's Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards for Women is a cornerstone program that reflects our commitment to empowering women who are the primary providers for their families. We understand the challenges these women face in pursuing further education and advancing their careers while balancing the responsibilities of family and work.

Our Live Your Dream awards are designed to provide these women with the resources and support they need to improve their education, enhance their skills, and expand their employment prospects. Through financial assistance, mentorship, and access to career development opportunities, we aim to break down barriers and help these women achieve their goals.

By investing in the education and training of these women, we are not only transforming their lives but also creating positive ripple effects within their families and communities. When women are empowered to succeed, everyone benefits.

We invite you to learn more about our Live Your Dream program and how you can support our mission of empowering women to achieve their dreams.

Breast Cancer Comfort Bags

At our club, we understand the challenges that women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer face, both physically and emotionally. It's a time of great strength and resilience, but also of pain and fear. That's why we've created a special initiative to support these women during their recovery journey.

With the assistance of grants and generous donations, our club has filled beautiful tote bags with carefully selected contents designed to provide both physical comfort and spiritual support. These tote bags, given by other women who understand and empathize with their journey, can make a significant positive impact on the spirit and comfort of those undergoing chemotherapy.

Inside these tote bags, recipients will find items that offer physical relief, such as cozy blankets, soft socks, and soothing skincare products. But we've also included items to uplift the spirit and provide emotional support, such as inspirational books, journals, and thoughtful notes of encouragement.

By coming together as a community to support these women, we hope to provide a ray of light during what can be a challenging time. It's our way of showing solidarity and letting them know that they are not alone in their journey towards recovery.

If you'd like to learn more about how you can support this initiative or get involved with our club's efforts, please explore our website, or reach out to us directly. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women battling breast cancer.

Partnership Projects


At Soroptimist International of Manhattan Beach, our projects are dynamic and ever-evolving, driven by the passion and dedication of our members as well as the needs of our community. Whether through partnerships with external organizations or through the initiative of individual members or groups, our projects are designed to make a meaningful impact on the lives of women and girls in the South Bay area.

We believe in the power of collaboration, and we actively seek out partnerships with like-minded organizations to amplify our impact and reach even more individuals in need. These partnerships allow us to leverage resources, expertise, and networks to address the diverse challenges faced by women and girls in our community.

At the same time, many of our projects are born out of the passions and interests of our members. Each member brings their unique skills, experiences, and ideas to the table, leading to a diverse range of projects that reflect the interests and priorities of our membership.

As our club continues to grow and evolve, so too do our projects. We remain committed to staying responsive to the changing needs of our community and to continually seeking out new opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of women and girls.
