2018 Live Your Dream Award winner with family, friends and Soroptimists at our Paint & Pour Party.
Held at Social Goods with Artist/Teacher Sepha Nisbet as our fearless painting leader.
Soroptimist International of Chehalem Valley honors local woman with Live Your Dream Award of $1,500 cash grant for educational expenses.
Soroptimist International of Chehalem Valley, part of a global organization that works to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment, will present a $1,000 Soroptimist Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards for Women (formerly the Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Awards) to help a local woman improve her economic situation.
Our LYD winner will advance to the Soroptimist District and/or Region level, where recipients can receive up to an additional $5,000. The program culminates with three finalist $10,000 awards. The Live Your Dream Award provides more than $1.6 million in cash grants to head-of-household women in need each year. Since the program’s inception in 1972, approximately $30 million has helped tens of thousands of women achieve their dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. A study conducted by The Fels Institute of Government, a research and consulting organization based at the University of Pennsylvania, confirmed the efficacy and impact of this program. It improves the recipients’ quality of life; builds their confidence; strengthens their self-determination and makes them want to, in turn, help others. Helping women in this way has the demonstrated effect of leading to stronger communities, nations and the world.
