Since 2015, Soroptimist International of Los Angeles (SILA) has presented Dream It Be It: Career Support for Girls, a program designed to help girls in secondary school who face obstacles to achieving their future goals. The program provides access to professional role models, career education, and valuable resources to help girls envision and pursue successful futures.

Soroptimist’s goal is to empower girls with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to overcome barriers and break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse. Over the years, SILA has offered both one-day workshops and small-group mentoring sessions to support girls on their journey toward brighter futures.

In 2027, Soroptimist members will host a one-day Dream It Be It Girls Conference specifically for high school girls throughout the greater Los Angeles community. The conference will provide encouragement, career guidance, and opportunities to connect with positive role models. Special outreach will focus on girls in foster care and those receiving services through the Department of Children and Family Services.

It's so wonderful when Soroptimists visit! Our most recent visitor is Dr. Nina Smart, currently a member of SI Bucharest (formerly a member of SI Downey) and one of the Governors of the Romanian Union in SIE. Here she is with SI Los Angeles President Sheila Tatum, both wearing a beautiful traditional Romanian blouse. These traditional shirts were included by UNESCO in the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2023 in no small part through efforts of local Soroptimist clubs.
