Every Spring Soroptimist members volunteer to read books to a local grade school as part of the nationwide Dr Seuss Read Across America Program. The club donates new and used books to leave for the teachers' classrooms.

Reach Out and Read

This Solano County Library Literacy Program is the year round recipient of children's books from our Club. Each book is given in the name of a guest speaker, new member, or a recognized Soroptimist member.

Diaper Drive

Every year the club collects diapers and wipes for the Help Me Grow Program which is a program of the Solano Family & Children Services.

The Club offers services for programs focused on girls in junior high and high school.

Girls Circle is a program conducted at the Matt Garcia PAL Center serving girls ages 12-18. The program is a professionally facilitated, structured, weekly discussion that focuses on many themes important to the lives and issues facing young girls in our community. The club provides meals for the girls.

S Club

Dream It Be It

Dream It Be It is a career workshop for high school girls, introducing different career paths and female role models, teaching goal-setting, overcoming obstacles, believing in yourself, caring for yourself. Some girls have had more than their share of traumatic life events; some girls have privileged and supportive communities. Soroptimist International of Central Solano County is committed to supporting all girls on this journey to successful futures.
