FAQs
What is an InHerShoes Chapter?
InHerShoes Chapters are ways to Catalyze Courage in your local community now. Chapters are created on a local and global level through high school, university, and community organizing led by courageous, passionate changemakers. Chapters make a difference across the United States and overseas by raising awareness, hosting regular programs, and contributing to the larger conversation of catalyzing courage for young girls and women everywhere.
Who are InHerShoes Chapters for?
Are you passionate about making a difference for young girls and women? Do you resonate with InHerShoes' mission to Catalyze Courage one act of courage at a time? Are you looking for a safe place to expand your leadership skills? Have you ever been stopped by that voice in your head telling you "I can't"? Are you a multi-passionate individual? Do you want to do well and do good? Are you looking to connect with bad*ss women like you?
We get it, because we've been there. And so have the courageous leaders of our chapters. If you answered "yes" to any of these questions and are looking to make a positive impact in your local community, InHerShoes is the community of catalysts for you.
Who are InHerShoes Chapters not for?
InHerShoes believes in equal opportunity no matter age, race, religion, gender, and economic status. At InHerShoes we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment for all community and chapter members. InHerShoes Chapters are not for you if you do not align with our mission and values.
Why start a Chapter?
An InHerShoes Chapter is a great way to turn your passions into actions. Chapters receive access to InHerShoes team members for support in building out chapter membership, programming, and fundraising efforts. Chapters have the opportunity to gain exclusive invitations for internal InHerShoes training, retreats, and workshops not available to the public; all designed to support your own growth and development as a leader and community catalyst.
“Since taking on the Lead Catalyst role I have truly embraced being 1% more which has spanned throughout all that I do. I now recognize moments of fear and in those moments intentionally choose to be 1% more courageous, leaning in during those moments. I am still fearful but know that this is my moment and chance to grow, embodying the 1% and shooting my shot. Once during a job interview, I wrote 1% in pen on my hand just to remind me I am 1% more. Seeing that 1% helped remind me that I am someone who takes risks and up for a challenge.”
— Kayla Parades (KP), Seattle Lead Catalyst
“When I got the opportunity to lead the SF Bay Area chapter, I had barely ever even held a leadership position, so I took my 1% more courageous leap to start catalyzing the Bay Area. Throughout this experience, I got to meet a lot of incredible & like-minded womxn, practice public speaking skills, build an InHerShoes presence in the Bay, and help our chapter focus on what we are all the most passionate about: mentorship, empowerment, and courage.”
