START

Determine what the purpose of the women's group will be

Next

While there are a million ways we can connect with each other through shared values and interests, you want to pick one core purpose of your group. Here’s why: If you’re talking to everyone, you’re talking to no one. How would anyone know to join your group if you don’t choose a specific topic? For example: If I say this women’s group will focus on financial independence. Then you can guess that we’ll talk about getting out of debt, saving more, increasing our income or investing. You also know we will not be talking about fancy clothes, cars, and expensive travel. By determining the direction of your group, you make it easy for your community to choose to be a part of certain types of conversations to be influenced by those ideas and to be around people who are focused on this topic as well.

Unit 1.2. How to build your own local women’s empowerment group

Choose a few activities you can do with your women's groupTo start, you’ll need a few activities to do at your first meeting. You don’t have to have a million ideas, conversation starters will do. Remember, in a women’s group, the leader isn’t the center of attention. Instead, you build a relationship together through sharing experiences, lessons and helping each other. Find new ways to grow and support your women's group As you continue to host events (either online or in-person) for your group you will learn what activities work best for your group and what topics are most popular. It is this learning about your community that will help you tailor the experience to their needs and create more resources to help them grow faster. Women’s groups allow women from different backgrounds to come together and support each other along life’s journeys. Creating one in your area will help you become more connected with the women around you and build impactful relationships that change lives.
