Education
Our focus on education allows us to offer scholarships and educational awards to women in our community through a variety of ways. We have four main scholarships as well as being an integral club in Soroptimist International's Live Your Dream Award at the local and regional levels. To find out more about our Awards & Scholarship opportunities please see the Awards & Scholarships page.
Community
We are committed to giving back to the community that has supported us since our club began in 1976. Burlington, Washington, and the greater Skagit Valley Community, is the key to our success and why our club continues to thrive.
Women’s Health
Women's health is the third focus area of our club, continuing to ensure women in our community have access to vital health services for themselves and their children.
Since 1976, Soroptimist
International of Burlington, WA has proudly contributed over
1.1 million to scholarships and services to our community.
I am feeling very blessed to have been chosen as the First Place Awardee in the Live Your Dream Award. This means so much to me and I could not finish expressing in words how I feel at the moment. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.
-Alma D. Hernandez Medina
Again, thank you for supporting my educational journey and helping me continue pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse. Your support means more than words can express, and it allows me to keep showing my daughter that with dedication, resilience, and belief in yourself, anything truly is possible.
