Different Sisterhood Communities You Should Join

Joining a sisterhood is about forming deep-rooted connections that go beyond family and common friendships. Members can view it as a usual hangout spot, mentorship opportunities, an emotionally supportive network, and feel one among the community.

A woman-focused membership community gives the opportunity to foster new fellowships and keep up with old ones across various sections. Sisterhood has a critical impact on the existence of women, whether it is in a sorority, some helping center, or an essential gathering of friends. The women you surround yourself with affect and influence your life. Below are some of the best sisterhood communities one can look at to join.

The Loretto Community

The Loretto Community was started in Ghana in 1812 with the aim of working for justice and acts of peace, including education, healthcare, spiritual accompaniment, the empowerment of women, environmental stewardship, and advocacy. It partnered with two sister communities aboard, The Holy Family Sisters in Guatemala and the Daughters of the Most Blessed Trinity. The Loretto Community and the Holy Family Sisters in Guatemala laid out a sisterhood relationship in 1994 to enhance and socially support each other.

The community took up the cause of quality education in Akokoamong, a ruined region. A discussion was initiated to build a school in Akokoamong on land given to them by the town’s Queen Mother. The school opened in September 2009 with the admission of 25 students in 2017. 

The Secret Sisterhood

The Secret Sisterhood launched in July 2017 and drew around 30,000 women and young ladies within a few months of its inception. This is a social endeavor that aims to elevate, engage, and motivate women. Their aim is to stand together and create great social and economic change. Their symbol, a heart image made cutting edge, bound together represents the image of everyday women’s liberation.

They sell jewelry as a symbol of showing support and 90 % of the profit goes to women’s causes. Their key areas of focus are girls’ education, violence against women, funding women microbrewers, and sex trafficking, besides working towards gender equality.

The Adrian Dominicans

The Adrian Dominicans Sisters, founded in 1923, is a Catholic religious foundation in the United States with a motherhouse in Adrian, Michigan. Their focus lies on education, health care, pastoral and retreat ministry, the arts, social work, ecology, and peace and justice advocacy, striving to live out the vision to seek truth and attain peace.

The Adrian Dominicans connects with young ladies in multiple ways, including a weekly blog in English and Spanish. Sr. Tarianne DeYonker is the co-director of vocations and there is a digital group for people who want to explore a religious lifestyle.

The Sisterhood serves in churches across the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, and Norway.

The Circle of Sisterhood

The Circle of Sisterhood foundation was founded in 2010 by Ginny Carroll. It is a non-profit organization that works for fundraising and spreading awareness for women’s education in developing countries. It brings together young ladies who share an advanced degree, sorority experience, and a generous soul to work on the lives and vocation of others worldwide. The members believe in standing together to positively influence and provide equal opportunity to many others through teaching, learning a trade, and working for the college.

The Sisterhood

The Sisterhood, launched in 2020, is a community of women entrepreneurs who provide resources and emotional support to small businesses. 

Despite bearing the brunt of a raging pandemic at its inception, The Sisterhood stays focused on visionary women’s activist practice. However, the community has also developed into a spot to share significant small business assets and essential encouragement as they explore the everyday difficulties of adjusting to an organization to survive and flourish in this new normal.

Women of Culture

Women of Culture came into being in 2021. It is an inclusive, intergenerational community for women with creative souls who want to live more artful, socially connected, and culture-filled lives. They host small group experiences, and weekends of culture getaways and offer cultural concierge services through which attendees can learn more about the arts & culture, while also getting in touch with their own creative muse.

Their eight-week program includes a few representations, journaling, sharing, the conversation around the week’s subject, and some optional development, besides an additional 1-2 hours of weekly ‘discovered work’ in the middle of meetings that get done before time.

Sisterhood of Temple Israel

The mission of the Temple Israel Sisterhood is to promote the welfare of Temple Israel; to encourage the observance of Jewish religious life in the home; to encourage interest in religious services and education; and to foster fellowship with the women of Temple Israel, and the broader Jewish community. Sisterhood’s responsibilities include running Temple Israel’s gift shop; overseeing the kitchen; one calendar, and High Holiday Break-the-Fast; and representing Sisterhood at the community-wide Jewish Community Relations Council. Sisterhood also plans programs and activities such as Sisterhood Book Group, Taste and Tell, Donor, Sisterhood Nights Out, and a Sisterhood Shabbat.
