An Ancient and Honored Tradition

Witnessing and holding space for other women is an ancient and honored tradition.

As a staff member, you help to create and hold the container for other women. Women who staff are rewarded through this powerful and sacred experience.

“I learn from every woman who attends our programs.”

Staffing a Woman Within Weekend enriches your life. Give yourself the gift of supporting other women on their Woman Within Weekend journey of self-discovery. Once you’ve completed your Weekend, you can come back and support other women who are new to the Woman Within community as they reclaim their authentic selves.

Staffing is a gift that you can give to yourself and to the women just beginning their Woman Within journey here in the South Central Region or anywhere in the world. It’s also a wonderful way to make deep, lasting friendships, and connection with other women seeking personal growth.

  • Woman Within Staff Training is required before staffing the Woman Within Weekend. It does not matter where you take the training.
  • Staff Training is offered to women around a month prior to an upcoming weekend. Please fill out your application and let us know your availability both for training and staffing.

“What I get out of staffing is an opportunity to connect with a loving, supportive network of women; to fully immerse myself in their authentic energy and to be truly present for others. There is no doubt when I staff I get as much from staffing as I did from doing my Weekend, if not more. It’s a fantastic gift to be part of others’ Weekends and be witness to their experience. I love it too when I connect again with someone who says to me ‘You staffed my Weekend!’”

How does the Woman Within® Staffing Application process work?

Woman Within Weekend staff are selected in Woman Within South Central USA following Woman Within International staffing requirements plus South Central regional policy.

  • Applications to staff the Woman Within Weekend in the South Central region should be submitted no later than 30 days prior to the event. Contact our staffing coordinator at staffing@womanwithinsouthcentralusa.org to see if applications are still being accepted for an upcoming Weekend.
  • If you apply on a mobile phone or tablet, you might not receive a confirmation that your application was sent. If you have concerns that your application was not received please email technology@womanwithinsouthcentralusa.org.
  • You’ll receive notice approximately 15-20 days before the Weekend, depending on participant registrations, stating if you’ve been accepted for staffing, put on a waiting list or advised to do other preparation before you staff.
  • Requests received after the application deadline will be reviewed as needed.

What are the requirements to staff?

To staff for the first time, you must:

  • Complete any Woman Within International Woman Within® Weekend
  • Complete any Woman Within Staff Training
  • You must be in good financial standing with Woman Within International and all Woman Within Regions

As part of your commitment to staff, you must:

  • Pay your staff fee – staffing is done on a volunteer basis; the fee helps cover part of the cost of your room and board. Please note the fee must be paid prior to the start of the Weekend.  Woman Within South Central USA Staffing fee is $125.00. We do offer financial assistance. Please contact staffing@womanwithinsouthcentralusa.org to learn more.
