Live Your Dream Award ~ The Live Your Dream: Training and Education Award for Women program, was established in 1972 by Soroptimist International of the Americas to assist women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. Applicants have faced economic and social barriers as well as personal hardships that have prevented them from pursuing and achieving their educational and professional goals. The Live Your Dream Award program changes the lives of women - women who need and deserve our support for themselves and their families.
