Supporting women and girls to thrive in and out of sport
Gaining Ground WA is a women-led mental wellbeing not-for-profit committed to supporting women and girls to thrive through sport.
Gaining Ground WA supports women and girls 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 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.
Train with Us - We're calling on community sport volunteers to become an ally for LGBTQIA+ youth!
Join the Gaining Ground WA team for an online course with Naarm-based @minus18youth to understand LGBTQIA+ identities and gain tools to become more inclusive in our interactions and within our organisations.
