Empowering women and girls to lead

Gaining Ground WA is a women-led mental wellbeing not-for-profit committed to empowering women and girls in football.

Gaining Ground WA supports women and girls in football with mentorship, leadership skill-building, and wellbeing tools to sustain their participation in the game. We deliver our services in the Perth metropolitan area at football clubs and through public workshops and events.

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.

What’s coming up
