Why Empowerment Workshops Work So Well for Teachers

Weekend workshops give you the chance to:
-
Lead with creativity and intention (without a state standard in sight!)
-
Make a real difference in girls’ lives
-
Earn extra income while doing something purposeful
-
Keep your weekdays sacred for rest or your regular teaching load
Plus, you don’t have to commit to an ongoing group—one weekend at a time is more than enough to create impact.
What a Weekend Empowerment Workshop Can Look Like
You don’t need a big event space or a packed agenda. In fact, the best workshops are simple, heartfelt, and focused on connection.
Here’s a sample flow for a Saturday afternoon session:
๐ Timeframe: 2–3 hours
๐ง Group size: 8–20 girls
๐ Location: School classroom, church hall, library, or community center
Sample Workshop Theme: “Confidence from the Inside Out”
-
โจ Welcome & Icebreaker (15 min)
-
๐ง Main Activity (Confidence collage, values cards, journaling)
-
๐ฌ Group Discussion (Prompt: “What does confidence mean to me?”)
-
๐ Journaling Time (With calming music + soft lighting)
-
๐ Empowerment Circle (Affirmations or compliment exchange)
-
๐ธ Optional photo wall or take-home worksheet
That’s it. No overwhelm. Just meaningful, manageable magic.
What You’ll Need to Get Started
โ
A space to host (schools, libraries, churches, and even your backyard all work!)
โ
A theme and simple structure
โ
A few basic supplies (journals, markers, affirmation cards, music)
โ
A group of girls (start with word of mouth, parent networks, or flyers)
โ
A done-for-you curriculum to save you hours of planning

How to Find Your First Group of Girls
You don’t need a big audience or social media following. Start small. Start local.
Try:
-
Asking your school if you can post a flyer
-
Reaching out to parents of students you’ve taught
-
Connecting with youth pastors, guidance counselors, or girl scout leaders
-
Posting in your local Facebook moms’ or teachers’ group
Let your message be clear and personal:
“I’m hosting a weekend empowerment workshop for girls to help them build confidence, express themselves, and connect with others in a fun, uplifting way.”
Start with 5–10 girls and grow from there. Word will spread—because what you’re offering is needed.
How Much Can You Earn from a Single Workshop?
Let’s say you charge $25–$50 per girl for a 2-hour session (depending on your community).
With just 10 girls, that’s $250–$500 for one weekend afternoon.
Lead two a month? That’s $500–$1,000 in extra income doing what you love.
And because you’re using done-for-you materials and keeping your format simple, your prep time is low—and your energy stays protected.
You Don’t Have to Go All In to Make a Big Impact
This doesn’t have to be a business right away.
This doesn’t have to be perfect.
This doesn’t have to be anything other than what you want it to be.
You can lead one workshop a quarter.
You can turn it into a monthly series.
You can build it into a side hustle that grows as you grow.
The key? Just start.
