Want to be involved with Armed Women of America, but don’t have a chapter near you? Join the Anywhere Virtual Online (AVO) Chapter today!

The AWA-AVO Chapter is the perfect solution for women who:

  • do not have a local in-person chapter
  • are members of the U.S. military community stationed overseas
  • are shift workers & caregivers unable to attend in-person meetings
  • travel frequently
  • seek additional training through multi-chapter membership
  • enjoy learning through online resources & experiences
  • want to learn about personal safety without live fire/a range environment

In addition to all standard AWA Member benefits, AWA-AVO members receive:

  • Access to monthly virtual meetings, led by certified instructors
  • Archived meeting recordings, to view on your schedule
  • Monthly chapter newsletter full of training tips & information
  • Private Social Media Groups
  • Invitations to chapter-only training challenges
  • Exclusive “Fit to Fight” health & wellness content every Friday
  • Opportunities to attend State & National AWA events
  • Option for dual membership with your local in-person chapter
AWA-AVO meets virtually each month via Zoom, and every meeting is recorded and archived for chapter members to access on demand. Meetings include presentations from leaders who are certified instructors, as well as vetted guest speakers who are experts in the shooting and self-defense industries.
Our private social media groups host a robust offering of informative posts and exclusive chapter challenges, along with the opportunity to network with women across the country.
Looking for an informal gathering with ladies in your area? Post on the weekly networking thread! Trying to find an in-person chapter and learn local laws for a military move? Your leadership team is only an email away!
Current AWA members who desire additional opportunities to train are welcome in the Anywhere Virtual Online chapter; simply upgrade to a dual membership (by selecting your in-person chapter and the virtual chapter), and you have access to double the resources.

Women must be legally eligible to possess a handgun in accordance with their state and local laws in order to participate. Women who are active duty military/SOFA-status spouses who are Permanently Stationed in U.S. territories/holdings (AS, GU, MP, PR, and VI) or overseas in APO/FPO units, must abide by the laws applicable to their host nation and all duty station policies.

The minimum age to join is 16 years old, due to policies of hosting virtual platforms. All minors must have the written permission of their parent/legal guardian and the parent/guardian must be a current member and be present during meetings. The availability of youth memberships is at the discretion of each individual chapter and host range. State and local laws and range rules supersede a chapter’s decision to allow minor members.

NOTE: To join, click the bar below to navigate to our Join AWA page. You will join as a regular member and then after joining, select the Anywhere Virtual Online Chapter as your chapter. You may also add this as an additional chapter for $15 a year if you are an existing member. Chapter Leaders wishing to join AVO, please call or email the National Office.
