Soroptimist International of Peterborough Trust
The Soroptimist International of Peterborough Trust (business registration number 888698198RR0001) is a Canadian registered charity established in 1993 to advance education and economic empowerment initiatives for women and girls. Affiliated with Soroptimist International, a global volunteer organization, the trust focuses on delivering programs that address systemic barriers faced by women, including poverty, domestic violence, homelessness, and human trafficking[3][4].
Programs and Activities
The trust administers two primary initiatives:
- Live Your Dream Award: Provides financial assistance to women who are primary family earners pursuing post-secondary education or vocational training. This program targets individuals overcoming challenges such as financial insecurity, caregiving responsibilities, or displacement due to conflict or disaster[1][4].
- Dream It, Be It: A mentorship program for at-risk adolescent girls, emphasizing career guidance, goal-setting, and strategies to combat negative self-image. Participants engage with role models to develop resilience and practical skills for future employment[4].
Additional efforts include fundraising for local and global partnerships addressing gender equity, educational access, and crisis recovery[3]. The trust allocates a maximum of 10% of raised funds to administrative costs, prioritizing direct program support[3].
Governance
As part of Soroptimist International—a United Nations-recognized NGO with federations across 120 countries—the trust adheres to the parent organization’s mission of fostering social and economic justice for women through education, advocacy, and community-based projects[1][4]. Its activities align with broader Soroptimist campaigns, including awareness initiatives on gender-based violence and economic disparity[3][4].
