Our ambassadors

Our Warrior Woman Foundation Ambassadors are an inspiring group of leaders, advocates, and role models who share our passion for empowering young women. They bring their voices, expertise, and energy to amplify our mission, helping us create a world where every young woman feels confident, supported, and ready to take on the world. With their guidance and support, we’re able to reach new heights, impact more lives, and build a brighter future for the next generation of fierce, unstoppable women.

Jacinta Tynan is one of Australia’s most experienced news presenters and journalists reporting and presenting in Australia and overseas, most recently as an anchor with Sky News Australia. As well as presenting live, rolling news, Jacinta created, produced and hosted ‘Change Makers’, interviewing people and organisations making a positive difference in the world.**

Jacinta is also a columnist with Sunday Life magazine and contributes to various other publications including SMH, Escape and MiNDFOOD. She’s regarded as a commentator for her generation with her popular and candid columns, and has also made regular guest appearances on programs including The Today Show and Sunrise.

She has published four books including *Mother Zen* – described as a manifesto of modern motherhood – and *Some Girls Do..My Life as a Teenager*, an anthology of some of Australia’s top female authors writing the true story of their adolescence. She’s currently working on her fifth book, a celebration of single motherhood.

Through my work as a writer, presenter and life coach, I hope to inspire you to see possibilities for positive change in your own life and what’s possible when you come into alignment with your true self.

We provide a safe and welcoming space for young women to share, learn, heal and grow. Each young woman is connected with a mentor as well as a network of diverse community-minded women who provide ongoing support and share their life experiences, resources and opportunities:

  • Connection to a safe, stable, and socially inclusive network of female role models to turn to for advice and ongoing support for the duration of the six-month program.
  • Connection to a non-judgmental group of young women who are facing similar challenges.
  • Connection to Kindred Warrior Peers, young women who have experienced challenges in life and have gone on to achieve life success.
  • Weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions with a safe mentor.

We teach young women the life skills they need to succeed in everyday life. Our “teach a young woman to fish” approach gives them support and guidance at every step, knowing that true empowerment comes from them learning to do things for themselves. In particular, we focus on financial literacy and job readiness:

  • Life-skills workshops to build self-reliance.
  • A six-week Financial Literacy program (in partnership with MoneyGirl).
  • A four-week Job Readiness program.
  • Assistance in gaining and retaining meaningful employment.
  • Access to a range of vocational skills scholarships (e.g., Code Like a Girl) and internships.

Many young women experience trauma which negatively impacts their confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. We support and nurture the trauma healing process in safe psycho-educational workshops facilitated by experts. In these sessions, young women learn to engage with self-compassion, and to soften and contain threat-based emotions, such as fear and anxiety, anger, shame and self-criticism.
