The Women Offshore Foundation, also known as Women Offshore, is an online organization and resource center supporting a diverse workforce on the water. It was founded in July 2017 by a mariner, Ally Cedeno.

As a 501(c)(3), non-profit private foundation, our mission is to shine a light on women in operations, provide resources to foster long-term careers, and share the latest efforts on gender diversity and inclusion in the offshore and maritime industries.

Working on the water is more than a job, it's a lifestyle, so now you can wear Women Offshore swag. Whether its one of our cozy tees, hoodies, or tanks, your swag is for comfort both at home and on board.

All proceeds from the Women Offshore Shop will go towards the Women Offshore Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit private operating foundation supporting a diverse workforce on the water.

Women Offshore started as a website to connect women who work on the water. It grew to include a mentoring program for women who work on the water, called the MentorSHIP. This is a virtual, peer mentoring program that connects women around the world who work at sea. Joining is easy, apply here.

We also have an annual event in Houston each year called UNITE, where women from around the world gather to support one another. Through panel discussions, workshops, and networking, individual needs are met, the community widens, and talent thrives. Find out more about UNITE here.
