Work Exchange and Scholarships


Work Exchange and Scholarships are available to women who desire to attend the 2009 Women of Wisdom Conference, but are experiencing financial hardships.


We ask that all women who desire to participate in WOW, will willingly offer their time and skills as an exchange for their participation. There are a variety of jobs that need to be done in order for the Conference to run smoothly, these jobs are filled 100% by volunteers. Your time and energy are relied upon and once your work exchange assignment is agreed upon, we ask that you abide by your commitment and notify the volunteer coordinator of any changes right away.


For those who are unable to do work exchange due to extenuating limitations. Limited scholarships are available. For all other women whose attendance at the WOW Conference would be a financial burden, please register for work exchange.

WOW Scholarship Application


There are 2 basic work exchange options:


Registration Work - In exchange for complimentary tuition to the entire conference a commitment of one 4-hour shift per week before the conference for 4 weeks and 8 hours during the conference is necessary. As we need the trained registration volunteers to help out at the registration desk during the conference, you are an important part of our conference. These hours will be scheduled around your workshop choices.


General Work Exchange In exchange for working at Women of Wisdom if you would like to attend a half-day workshop you must work 4 hours. For full day workshops 10 - 12 hours of work exchange is required (depending on Membership). When you help out at evening lectures (assisting with set up, break down, selling tickets and merchandise) you receive a free ticket for that evening's program. Any hours worked during an evening event cannot be carried over to workshop costs. General Work exchange is to be done during conference set up, during the conference, or post conference work, not before, unless prior agreement is made.
