Our Social Impact Reports

The Warrior Woman Foundation’s outcome measurement is a structured, evidence-based process grounded in the Theory of Change and Program Logic Model. These frameworks outline the intended outcomes and define the indicators we use to assess progress, guiding the evaluation of program impact.

HOW WE MEASURE OUTCOMES

The Warrior Woman Foundation uses a structured, evidence-based process to measure program outcomes, guided by the Theory of Change and Program Logic Model. Through pre- and post-program surveys with quantitative and qualitative questions, we assess participants’ growth, program impact, and alignment with our core values. This approach ensures meaningful evaluation, informs improvements, and supports community building through alumni engagement.

Through connection, support, and education in holistic evidence-based programs, we support under-represented vulnerable young Australian women aged 18-29 years who lack the necessary family or community support to become resilient and independent. Through mentoring, educational programs and coming together we develop strengths of Belonging, Learning and Growing in young women to become strong independent warriors capable of taking their place in the world.

2024 Social Impact Report

The Warrior Woman Program effectively supports young women’s transition to independence, focusing on building skills, confidence, and resilience. The outcomes align well with the Program’s purpose to empower participants in critical areas, demonstrating its alignment with the Theory of Change. The aspirational goals, coupled with the development of a structured mentoring program, reflect a sustainable approach to fostering lasting change. The Program’s strong inclusivity and ability to address varied needs across age, ethnicity, and identity affirm its commitment to supporting young women from all backgrounds as they work toward their goals and independence.

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.
