We’re creating a gender equitable future.
Mentorship Program
A Western Australian-first program that sustains participation of girls in sport. Designed to create generational change at clubs throughout the state.
We link girls, 12-14 years old with senior women in their club they can lean on and look up to. Senior women who mentor get coaching experience and step into roles as coaches and board members at their clubs.
Consistent role model presence develops reassurance and trust among junior players and creates a safe place to share concerns, at an age that research shows girls are most likely to drop out.
Girls’ anixety levels have decreased and confidence increased.
Girls have role models at their club. They have senior players they can share concerns with and receive guidance and aspire to be like.
Senior women have become mentors, which is empowering them to coach and join committee roles.
Social connection is being created across the club.
