The vision of the Soroptimist organization is to help provide to women and girls resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams. Dream It Achieve It is a program that helps empower at risk adult women to achieve independence by equipping them with information and skills to help them succeed in achieving their goals and dreams.

One of the ways that the Soroptimist International of Rancho Cordova & Gold River club does this by offering to domestic violence and trafficking survivors receiving assistance from the Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center (SFJC) (https://www.sacramentofjc.org/), goal setting and career planning workshops.

We offered a workshop in April, May and June 2026 teaching long-term, short-term, and career planning skills and asked participants to complete a pre- and post-workshop survey about their outlook about each topic. After the June workshop, participants felt 23% better prepared and confident about the information they learned. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MEE-DrtvgoI
