Our Purpose

We serve women in transition and girls 11-23 as well as the Buena Park community and our club members by unleashing the talent of members to help our external customers through programs such as SMART Girls, Miss Buena Park, Miss Teen, and the Christmas Shopping Spree, to help them achieve life skills so they can be successful, productive, contributing members of the community and drive our organization’s money-making model through annual fundraising, support of International’s programs and partnering with local service clubs and organizations working toward the same goals.


SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF BUENA PARK
 

SIBP - PROGRAMS

WOMEN'’S OPPORTUNITY AWARD PROGRAM

This program helps women who, as heads of their households, must enter or return to the work force or improve their employment status in order to support themselves and their families. Awardees are often faced with economic and social barriers, and personal hardships that have prevented them from pursuing and achieving their educational and professional goals. The program begins on the Soroptimist club level for $1000, with club recipients becoming eligible for additional awards at other levels of the organization.

VIOLET RICHARDSON AWARD PROGRAM

Named for the president of the first Soroptimist club, the Violet Richardson Award honors girls who are making a difference through volunteer service. Each year, Soroptimist clubs honor girls who donate their time and energy to causes that make the community and world a better place— such as working to end discrimination and poverty, assisting women and children who are victims of domestic violence, or mentoring young girls. The program begins on the Soroptimist club level for $500, with club recipients becoming eligible for additional awards at other levels of the organization.
