DEADLINE: JoyFest Wellness Station Leader Inquiry

We are looking for wellness station leaders to share their knowledge and joy in an area around wellness. We are looking for BIPOC women/femmes to share their love for wellness, including areas of fashion/style, hair care, skin care, yoga, meditation, and storytelling/poetry. We are hoping you would be willing to lead a wellness workshop.

Our JoyFest Summit is on Saturday, July 20, from 10am-4pm, at Stoughton YMCA, with wellness stations running from 11:15am-3:15pm. We will have four stations that groups of 25 women/girls/femmes ages 12 and older will participate in, rotating in their same groups, four times throughout this time, for 30 minute workshops.

What we need from you:

• Create and lead one 30 minute wellness station

• Lead your station four times (same workshop, for 4 different groups)

• Wellness stations run for 30 minutes with 15 minute breaks in between each and lunch after the first 2 rotations (hour lunch)

• Arrive by 10:30am to set up your station, in one designated room (where you would lead all four of your wellness stations)

• Clean up your station after the last session (ends by 3:15pm)

• Provide any materials used for your station; please let us know if you will need reimbursed for materials or if they will be in-kind

What you get:

• You (and your company if applicable) shared on all of Mass Mentoring social media platforms and listed in all of our advertising materials

• $250 stipend for leading four workshops

• Professional photos from your wellness station for you to use in your own materials

• Chance to network women/girls/femmes from all over MA, some of whom are leaders in youth serving organizations

• To be a part of an amazing movement that lifts the joy of Black & brown women/girls/femmes!

We are looking for station leaders to commit to their stations by 5pm Monday June 17, 2024, so please let us know by then! Please note that if we have several folks asking to lead the same workshop, we can only choose one. You will know by the end of the day June 18, if your wellness station was chosen.

If you are interested in leading a wellness station, please fill out this interest form. Again, we will let you know by June 18 if your station was picked (or not).

If you would like to learn more about the Mentoring Black and brown Girls & Femmes Movement, you can go here for MMP’s landing page about it. We are also happy to connect and chat through any questions you may have before committing. Please reach out to Natalie at NSpriggs@MassMentors.org with questions and/or you would like to meet.

Thank you so much for all that you do! We hope to hear from you soon and that you can join our JoyFest summit team!!
