Our Mission

The Women Offshore Foundation, also known as Women Offshore​, is an online organization and resource center established in 2017 to support a diverse workforce on the water. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, our mission is to propel women+ into meaningful careers through access to a worldwide community and professional development resources, while raising awareness amongst industry leaders and decision makers about issues affecting women on the water.

As a community centered on the lived experiences of women+ working on the water, we are deeply committed to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion – both within our own community as well as within the broader industry.  Our mission includes eliminating gender-based discrimination through an intersectional approach, and our membership includes women and members of marginalized gender identities and expressions.

 

Our Vision

A maritime community in which all individuals, regardless of gender, are empowered to pursue their career ambitions.

Our Values

  1. Community – Connect a strong and supportive community of female offshore workers to give or receive mentorship and/or guidance.
  2. Development – Support the career development and advancement of women for careers on the water.
  3. Elevation – Raise the profile of women and marginalized groups, shining a light on issues and challenges affecting their careers.
  4. Professionalism – Understand our members’ needs and provide information and resources that exceed expectations.
  5. Collaboration – Work toward a shared vision of reducing the gender gap on the water with our members, collaborators, and supporters.
  6. Resilience – Embrace impending challenges with confidence that we will achieve our goals.
