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.
