WOAR delivers custom designed trainings and workshops for hotels, bars, restaurants, and hospitality professionals.
Our programs address industry-specific challenges — helping your team prevent harassment, de-escalate and respond to conflicts, and maintain a safe, welcoming environment.
WOAR is a key partner with the City of Philadelphia’s Commerce Department Office of the Nighttime Economy and supports their valuable work in the Liberty Bell Safe Certification Program.
Liberty Bell Safe Certified Businesses in Philadelphia
Liberty Bell Safe Certified businesses are committed to a safe and inclusive nightlife experience in Philadelphia.
Additionally, WOAR provides support and resources, upon request, for arts venues (theaters, music, poetry readings, and other artistic performances) to support particular performances and productions. Local entertainment venues have asked for on-site support at productions that include references to adult or child sexual violence, harassment, or other types of sexual harm.
Safe establishments don’t just protect people — they reduce risks, earn trust, and foster a reputation that keeps guests coming back.
Partner with WOAR to invest in a safer, more successful Philadelphia business.
