We are looking for new members to join our Club. If you have a passion for helping women and girls then joining Soroptimist may be for you. Club meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month at a different restaurant in the Dayton region.

Soroptimist International of Dayton, OH (SI Dayton) was chartered December 12, 1936. Our club’s mission is to empower women and girls to be a greater force in improving their lives and the communities. Our club enjoys great diversity as our members represent a wide range of professions, ages, and ethnic backgrounds. We all work together to advance our common goals. We also partner with other non-profit organizations, such as organizations that share the goals of helping women to further their education, rise from poverty, abuse, or sex trafficking and to assist women in improving their lives and living their dreams.

The SI Dayton club annually participates in the national and regional Live Your Dream Education and Training Awards, by using various fundraising activities to raise monies for the awards. Additionally, other club initiatives include advocacy and building awareness about issues related to sex trafficking, poverty and abuse. It is our hope that some special woman in need can be reached through our network of family and community.

Soroptimist International of Dayton was invited to the Dayton Woman's Club inaugural Women in Business Social on Thursday, March 19, in celebration of Women’s History Month. This begins a new tradition designed to foster genuine connections and shared experience among women who are shaping business, leadership, and community across the Dayton region. Set within The Dayton Woman’s Club’s historic Victorian mansion, this new quarterly gathering reflects their long-standing commitment to advancing women and strengthening community—a mission it has carried forward since 1916. The Women in Business Social Initiative brings women in business together in a relaxed, welcoming environment focused on conversation, connection, and community. Many women stopped by our booth and were interested in our projects. We plan to attend each quarter. We are also planning for our Live Your Dream awards luncheon at the Dayton Woman’s Club on Saturday, May 2nd.
