Gaining Ground WA Mentorship Program and Wellbeing Workshops
Gaining Ground WA Mentorship Program
We link girls, 12-14 years old with women players, who are trained to become mentors and attend and lead workshops and training sessions. Mentors develop their leadership skills and are set on a pathway to coaching and other roles on and off the pitch.
Gaining Ground WA Wellbeing Workshops
Our wellbeing workshops are designed for groups or teams of girls interested to build confidence, learn tools to support their wellbeing, and build leadership capabilities through targeted skill development. Our workshops are delivered by young women in the community who become accessible role models.
Your Story, Your Lead - Propelling leadership in sport through storytelling
Meet our storytellers, Katelyn, Aija, Brenda, and Dana, as they share their experiences as women in sport in Western Australia.
Our year-long initiative in partnership with Edith Cowan University and Centre for Stories supports 10 young women to learn self-advocacy skills, craft and deliver a 10-minute story, and build their leadership confidence.
