Service Projects / Programs

Dream it, Be It: Career Support for Girls gives girls the tools they need to achieve their education and career goals, empowering them to break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse.

Soroptimist International of Eel River Valley's Dream It, Be It program will be held at Fortuna East High starting October 2026!

For over 25 years, library books have been donated to elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the Eel River Valley.  The books are distributed to the school librarians and administrators at an annual Library Breakfast in January.    Our Bunco for Books events generates the funds to make this happen!

Each year at the annual Dog Show event in July, Soroptimist members assist the Lost Coast Kennel Club on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with parking.  We collect fees, direct traffic, and enjoy seeing the numerous breeds of dogs that enter the show. Members: Kathy and Fannette, Jo Anne and Pat

As Soroptimists, we are proud to assist Fortuna Sunrise Rotary in lining the Main Street of Fortuna with the American Flag each year on 9/11 honoring the many victims, heroes, first responders, rescue workers, and members of our military.
Members: Jo Anne, Laurie, Loene, Debbie, and Fannette

Adopt-A-Highway is just one of our volunteer projects that promotes pride and ownership in keeping our communities beautiful.  Come look for us on the highway headed to Ferndale!
Members: Fannette, Shirley, Jo Ann, and Laurie

Each year at our annual Christmas Breakfast, we support SI Foundations projects and donate to those in need in the community. 

The 2026 Annual Easter Egg Hunt co-sponsored with Fortuna Kiwanis and the City of Fortuna, was held at Rohner Park.
