Our Evaluation Results
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.
warrior woman Theory of change
Through connection, support, and education in holistic evidence-based programs, we support under-represented vulnerable young Australian women aged 17-25 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 summary of key findings
The Warrior Woman Program has had a positive and measurable impact on young women’s lives, with notable improvements across Belonging (23%), Learning (30%), and Growing (23%). A high proportion of participants in the 24+ age group suggests that the Program is successfully bridging critical support gaps for young women who may not have had previous opportunities for structured guidance. While the pre- and post-program outcomes reflect strong positive change, they did not reach the maximum score of 5, highlighting the aspirational nature of the Program and the depth of development needed over time. The mentoring component is intended to address this, providing sustained support to help young women achieve their long-term goals. The Program’s broad appeal across diverse ethnicities and identities underscores its inclusivity, drawing participants from a range of backgrounds who may benefit from tailored support.
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.
