Welcome to the WE360 Application! 

YW Boston is dedicated to educating and supporting women entrepreneurs as they launch and grow their businesses. Through the YWCA's Women's Empowerment 360° (WE360) program, participants gain foundational skills and practical tools to develop and implement a successful business plan. The program also offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers and learn from industry experts.

At YW Boston, we want to make sure that we are addressing you in the ways that you prefer and that are most inclusive. We therefore ask for both your first and last name, and welcome you to share your preferred name and your pronouns.

Applicant Demographics

At YW Boston, intersectionality is central to the work that we do. The section below is a first opportunity for you to share some information about your identity. Please note that only questions with a red asterisk (*) are required, but we welcome you to share as much as you're willing.


If there are other aspects of your identity that you would like to share, or if the choices in this form do not accurately represent you, please let us know in the text box at the end of the page so that we may better recognize you and future applicants.


Not required.
Gender and Racial/Ethnic Identities
Below are several questions related to gender, race, and ethnicity. You may notice that some of these questions are repeated, once as “choose one” and again as “choose all that apply.” This is for two reasons: First, while some people might self-identify as one answer within a category, others might self-identify as several. Second, we want to honor how you self-identify and allow for broader categories that protect the anonymity of participants in smaller or under-represented groups.

While we attempt to have lists that are both representative and expansive, we know that our lists are not inclusive of all responses. Please use the open-ended responses areas to help us continue to best represent the diversity of our clients.

Gender
Gender is a category we use all the time, but can actually refer to several different socially constructed categories such as Gender Identity (man, cis, trans, woman, genderqueer, etc.), Gender Expression (e.g. masculine, feminine, neutral), and Sex (e.g. male, female, intersex, etc.).


Race, Ethnic, and Cultural Identities
Race and ethnicity are complex social constructs. Race is often determined by how you look in a certain context (e.g. the US), while ethnicity is based on the cultural groups you belong to and may be shaped by your social, religious, linguistic, and/or national affiliation.





YW Boston strives to provide inclusive programming. Your answer to this question will not impact your candidacy for the program.
