FAQs
Is there a cost to participate?
Nope! We are proud to be a 100% donation-supported organization. Our spaces, speakers, and programming are all gifted by those who support our vision. If you feel compelled to join us in the She Unites mission, donations can be here. Certain recreational events do have a ticket price to cover equipment, instruction, or facility rental fees.
Do I need to be a member?
No. She Unites is not a membership-based organization. Come to one event or come to them all. Simply reserve a ticket for the event you are attending and that’s it!
Do I need a ticket or to RSVP?
Yes! While most of our events are Free to attend, there is a max capacity at many of the venues we use. Please be respectful in reserving a ticket, knowing that if you no-show, that means someone else won’t be able to participate.
Is She Unites faith-based?
She Unites is not a faith-based organization. We welcome all women to our community regardless of religious affiliation.
Should I come alone or bring a friend?
Either way! We intend this group to be a way for you to make new friends in the greater Dubuque area. If you can bring a friend with you to our event as a safety net, go for it! But not to worry, you will not be the only one there flying solo.
Is there a virtual option or live stream?
We do not offer live streams of our events for a few reasons. One is financially, to do it right, we would need about $5k annually to create and house the content in a way that is conducive for learning. But more so, our greatest priority is community. In-person connection is at the forefront of all that we do. With that said, our events include very vulnerable Q+A and attendee interaction. These are not our stories to share online. Hopefully, as we continue to grow this organization, we will be able to offer programming on other days of the week so that more women can participate.
What can I expect at a She Unites event?
Our hope is that you come to our events having made a new friend, had authentic conversations, and leave with inspiration to power you through. Our monthly gatherings consist of socialization, a rotating speaker, and an overall good time. Read more here.
How can I become a speaker?
We seek out speakers who are passionate about educating women on a variety of topics. The speakers for our large group gatherings should prepare topics that are relevant to all women and are not niche in nature. If you are interested in speaking, shoot us an email with your pitch.
Does She Unites have paid staff?
Nope! We are 100% volunteer-run. Co-Founders Adele and Nat, plus our board of directors, plan and execute all She Unites events as an act of service to the community.
