Signing up – High Noon

The Signup Process

***Signup Form below. Read the following important information.***

First, we will ask you to share some general information with us. Then we’ll have you commit to these 3 agreements:

Confidentiality – I will not repeat anything shared within the group, nor disclose others’ identities
First call is required – I will be disqualified from participating in a small group if unable to make the first call
No more than three calls missed – I will not be able to join a group if I will miss more than three calls throughout the duration of the program

Group Selection

Next, FOR MEN you’ll be prompted to choose a group based on time. FOR WOMEN, you’ll be asked to share your availability. Below we have facilitator bios. This may be helpful as you pick a group for the coming quarter.

Orientation Call

Finally, we would like to have an orientation call with you. This call is to help answer any questions or concerns you may have, and to help you have a great start to the quarter.

If you are new to the program this is mandatory. If you are an ongoing participant, you are welcome to set up a meeting with the staff. After you press “Submit” on the signup form you will be taken to a page where you can pick a time slot to have this call.

I've been facilitating with High Noon since 2018, and it's been incredibly fulfilling to pass the love forward and help support the growth of my sisters. As a past participant of High Noon's program, and now as the Women's Program Coordinator, I know how impactful being part of a group can be. It's an honor to help create a safe space where we can be vulnerable, support each other, and keep each other accountable to our goals.

Hi my name is Melissa and I am a youth leader in the DMV area. I have been supporting sisters in the realm of High Noon since 2018 and am excited to help anyone I can!

I'm 28 and a professional life & transformation coach. My husband and I participated in the 24 hour High Noon Summit in 2020 and since then I've been involved. High Noon creates the opportunity for vulnerability, trust, and honesty.
