Women’s Audio Mission (WAM) is a non-profit organization and recording studio located in San Francisco, California that is dedicated to increasing the participation of women and girls in music production and the recording arts. The organization’s executive director Terri Winston founded WAM in 2002. WAM developed and oversees the online music production training library SoundChannel.org. WAM also hosts educational workshops and events for women and girls in its recording studio and runs Girls on the Mic, a teaching program that provides audio training to middle school and high school girls in the Bay Area. In 2009, the White House Office of Social Innovation visited WAM as part of President Obama’s “Educate to Innovate” Campaign for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM), referencing WAM’s programs to develop guidelines for best practices and evaluation methods for educating young women and girls. In 2012, WAM received funding from the California Arts Council to record performers of traditional forms of music from Vietnam, Brazil, Turkey, Peru, and Sweden as part of WAM’s “Preserving Culture” series.

Artists who have recorded at WAM’s recording studio include the SHE’s, Sean Dorsey,  Van Anh Vo,  Built for the Sea,  Nutgiin Ayalguu,   Woodstripe,   Mud Walk, and Constantina.
