Women's Audio Mission accomplishes its mission through five programs:
- WAM Corps Training provides training in the recording arts and audio technology. By providing training on state-of-the art technology along with award-winning women instructors WAM creates an environment that encourages over 200 young women a year to become sound artists and media makers and to enter a "non-traditional" field.
- WAM Corps delivers affordable recording and live sound services to independent artists while providing career counseling and job placement services for women pursuing careers in audio and digital media . WAM places 20 women a year in paid positions.
- WAM Online Member Community is an online, international community of over 500 women where members can connect with other members in their area, collaborate on projects, announce performances, post music and projects, post resumes, search job opportunities, get tech tips from pros and receive discounts on training, industry publications, conferences and audio gear. WAM's website gets over 1500 hits a day.
- Project GROW - Girls Recording Outreach Workshops cultivates the next generation of women recording artists and engineers by providing girls, ages 8-18, with women mentors and sound recording technology to facilitate small-scale recording projects that mirror professional activities. Each year over 140 girls are exposed to the recording arts.
- Artist Incubator for Musicians & Songwriters develops the careers and creativity of local women musicians, songwriters and composers by providing access to music production and technology training, industry professionals (management, booking agents, producers, etc.), internet exposure, and performance and recording opportunities.
