OUR SERVICE PROGRAMS
Early in 2007, Zonta of Sanibel-Captiva undertook a comprehensive strategic planning process to evaluate our relationship and effectiveness with current partner projects and to choose where future focus should be. Following are the six primary projects - thus making them eligible not only for significant grants but also our volunteer service and advocacy energies. Each of these projects are making a difference in womens lives here in Lee County.
