In today's podcast, we discuss the Women Offshore Foundation's overarching goal and impact. The Women Offshore Foundation is dedicated to empowering women+ in the maritime industry by connecting women working on the water to a global community, providing professional development tools, and addressing unique challenges. Our Career Development Program, led by coordinator Christine, expanded in 2022-2023, resulting in 11 candidates securing positions and $21,000 in scholarships. This program, distinct from our scholarship initiative, aims to bring diversity to entry-level roles.  As Giving Tuesday approaches, we set a goal of raising $10,000 to enhance our Career Development Program, emphasizing the global movement's impact on philanthropy. Donations contribute to advancing women in maritime professions, exemplified by Amanda Coleman's transformative journey within the program.

Your contribution, earmarked for our Development Program, directly supports the career advancement of women like Amanda. Together, let's set sail towards a future where more women steer their course in the maritime industry. Your support is not just a donation; it's an investment in a more diverse and inclusive maritime future. Join us in creating ripples of positive change.
