Way Day
We believe the outdoors is for all. Fulfilling that sense of adventure is truly a life well-lived. Deeper yet, the outdoors are a part of our values and Co-op Way Days provide us with time for living our values—for things like community service, advocacy, civic participation, outdoor recreation and stewardship.
That’s why, twice a year, REI’s Co-op Way Day program allows you to take a workday to partake in the activities that are important to you. Part-time employees will be paid six hours, and full-time employees will be paid eight hours when you take your Way Day. You can view your Way Day balance on your pay statement.
Here are the Way Day details:
- The current Co-op Way Day period will expire August 22, 2026. Check out the full description of the REI Co-op Way Day Policy on REIweb > Employee Policies.
- The next Way Day period will begin August 23, 2026, and will expire February 20, 2027.
