Soroptimist is a global women’s organization whose members volunteer to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Approximately 75,500 Soroptimists in 130 countries and territories support community–based and global projects benefiting women and girls. The organization is particularly concerned with providing women and girls access to education, as this is the most effective path to self-determination.

The name, Soroptimist, means “best for women,” and that’s what our organization strives to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best, working to help other women to be their best.

The Hamilton chapter was chartered June 14, 1974 by Soroptimist International of  Missoula and currently has over 50 members from the Bitterroot Valley.

If you too would like to be the Best for Women, we invite you to join us!  Feel free to come to a meeting or click here for more information about our program and membership.
