Local Programs
At the local level Soroptimist International of San Diego (SISD) focuses on assisting local non-profit agencies that center their activities on woman and girl centered needs: substance abuse recovery, transitioning foster youth, educational needs, human trafficking, domestic abuse and violence, self-esteem workshops for teenage girls, and crises intervention are a few examples. SISD members are constantly inspired by the strength and courage of the women and girls we help, and we often watch them move from lives of despair to lives filled with hope.

STAT! Put Anti-trafficking Awareness Poster in SD Trolleys.
STAT! was formed in 2011 in response to Soroptimist members’ desire to get involved in the fight against human trafficking in San Diego. We chose the acronym STAT! (with an exclamation mark) to emphasize the urgent need to protect women and girls from human traffickers. STAT! is made up of members from Soroptimist clubs from around the county. Working together allows us to combine our efforts and make a larger impact. Our focus areas are public awareness and education, and victim/survivor support. STAT! is well know in the San Diego anti-human trafficking community and we are often called upon to support the efforts of victims services providers and awareness campaigns. 
Girls Rising is a 501©3 non-profit organization that helps girls achieve success by pairing each girl with an individual mentor to serve as a positive, consistent role model in their lives. In addition, the program offers a series of social, educational and character building events for Big and Little Sisters throughout the year to promote a sense of community, increase social support and introduce girls to new experiences.
