  • Thank you for your interest in staffing a Woman Within® Weekend presented by Woman Within Western USA.

    Upon submission, you will receive a confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your application.

  • Staff Selection takes place approximately 60 days prior to a Weekend and you will be notified of a staffing decision approximately 45 days prior.

    Each woman who is accepted to staff, will be assigned a different support role during the Weekend. If you have any concerns or restrictions, please be sure to let us know in your application.

    Staff Training is required for all first-time staffers and encouraged as a refresher for all women staffing the Weekend.

    Woman Within welcomes all women and prohibits discrimination based on race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation and gender identity.

    Staffing commitment: 6:00 PM Thursday* until 5:00 PM Sunday (*Please note Woman Within International policy requires all staff to arrive by and attend the 9 AM Friday staff meeting.)

  • Please check the Weekends you are available to Staff. If any of your application information or availability changes, it is your responsibility to inform the Staffing Coordinator.

    Please choose the Weekend you'd like to Staff. To apply to staff more than one Weekend, submit a separate application for each choice.
  • COVID Conscious & Standard Safety Weekends
    COVID Conscious Weekends require: Proof of negative COVID test within 72 hours preceding the Weekend; rapid antigen testing upon arrival at the Weekend site; social distancing if necessary; masking may be implemented if someone tests positive.
    Standard Safety weekends do not require COVID testing. Optional: Masking and social distancing.
    Find complete descriptions on the last page of this form, under "Woman Within Western USA 'COVID Conscious'/'Standard' Weekend Options - January 2023."

    Woman Within Western USA believes in women’s safety, choice and empowerment. We aim to ensure that every woman has the resources, information and ability to choose what feels right for her. Our goal is for all women to experience what makes the Weekend, and our community, so special. We understand that there are women who need and/or want COVID prevention protocols in place, and there are women who explicitly do not want these protocols.

    To that end, we will be hosting two variations of the Woman Within Weekend: “Standard” and “COVID Conscious”.

    At “Standard” (No COVID precautions) Woman Within Weekends, we will only:

    1. provide optional masks and hand sanitizer,

    2. provide stickers that indicate your comfort level regarding physical closeness to others,

    3. have optional COVID rapid antigen tests available in case you become symptomatic,

    4. provide support around determining how best to isolate and/or get home,

    5. support you in choosing any of the above.

    6. We will not require COVID testing at “Standard” WW Weekends.


    At COVID-Conscious (COVID Precautions) Woman Within Weekends, we will be implementing COVID safety measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID. All participants and staff will be required to follow these safety measures.*

    At “COVID-Conscious” (COVID Precautions) Weekends, we may:

    1. Require proof of negative COVID test within 72 hours preceding the Weekend

    2. Require rapid antigen testing upon arrival at the Weekend site

    3. Implement social distancing, if needed

    4. Implement masking if a staff member or participant tests positive for COVID during the Weekend

    5. We will also:
      provide optional masks and hand sanitizer,
      provide stickers that indicate your comfort level regarding physical closeness to others,
      have optional COVID rapid antigen tests available in case you become symptomatic,
      provide support around determining how best to isolate and/or get home,

    FOR ALL OF OUR WOMAN WITHIN WEEKENDS: With choice comes responsibility. We expect that if you feel unwell or display any symptoms of illness (whether a cold, the flu, Covid,or any other potentially contagious illness), you will NOT come to the Weekend. Wherever possible, we will support you by transferring your payment to another Weekend.

    If a government entity (federal, regional, or local) issues public health mandates at the time of a Weekend, we will follow these requirements.

    *For as long as applicable.

  • Without limitation, Woman Within Western USA, is not responsible or liable for bodily injury, death, delays, changes or losses caused by, but not limited to acts of God, war, pandemics, threat of war, closure of airports, civil strife, natural disasters, accidents or any other events beyond or within our control; participants' injuries, illnesses, medical or psychiatric conditions developed during or subsequent to events sponsored by Woman Within Western USA; loss of/or damage to personal property of participants.
  • The staff selection process and building of a team requires a significant amount of work and coordination. Your commitment to the staffing dates is critical, as withdrawals create considerable impact. As such, a non-refundable $50 deposit will be due once selected. Please ensure your availability from Thursday afternoon through Sunday afternoon of the Weekend, as refunds will NOT be given, with the exception outlined in the COVID-19 Acknowledgment, if one exists.

    Check the box below to acknowledge your commitment to prioritizing your attendance, if selected.
