Fearless Women

Fearless Women

Through gendered education, mentor and counselling programs Fearless Women fosters a sense of

belonging and empowerment in young women (including those who identify as female) aged 10 to 25.

Fearless Women operates in the ACT and focuses on early intervention and provides young women with support, role modelling, healthy skills development and community. It provides support, particularly the 'missing middle' who are those who haven’t reached a crisis point, but have complex, prolonged needs that require a level of expert care.

Funds Raised: $52,900

Fearless Women pitched to the Canberra community for support of their two-year Mentor Program.  The program focuses on strength-based positive development, incorporating non- judgmental conversations between mentors and mentees and group activities. The funding will support screening and training new volunteer mentors so they are able to make more mentee- mentor matches.
