About SheChanges
SheChanges partners with women to create change – for themselves, for their businesses and for the world. It offers a safe and courageous space for women to listen to and honor their instincts as architects of change.
Founded on the belief that women are powerful forces for change, SheChanges is a catalyst for women to take themselves – their lives, their organizations, their thoughts and experiences of the world – more seriously.
At the heart of SheChanges is a call for women to authorize themselves to make change happen. Through coaching, consulting, group learning experiences and retreats, SheChanges offers inspiration, validation, insight, and motivation for women to take responsibility and hold themselves accountable to creating the changes they seek for themselves or for their work in the world.
Giving Back
Since it opened its doors in 2006, SheChanges has made a conscious commitment to donate 16 consulting hours annually to an organization that either benefits women and girls and/or has a women leader at its helm.
10 percent of the registration fees from the annual On Being a Woman circle series traditionally benefit an organization that supports the needs of women and girls – 2008-10 went to the Maine Women’s Fund and 2011 was given to Birthroots). Additionally, SheChanges has historically given percentages of the Homecoming women’s retreat profits to area organizations, as well as entire proceeds from events to benefit Coastal Studies for Girls.
Each month, the Touchstones newsletter features a “share the love” section, wherein several women’s businesses and organizations, events, publications or benefits are recognized and promoted to the entire SheChanges community network.
Wherever and whenever possible, SheChanges seeks to actively engage and support women’s business – from hiring women accountants and web designers to client referrals.
