2023 Trivia night

The Warrior Woman Trivia night was packed with laughter, friendly competition, and intellectual stimulation, all hosted by the entertaining Nick Nolan, also known as the One Man Trivia Mafia. The event raised essential funds for the Young Warrior Woman Program while providing a relaxed setting for work colleagues, friends, family, and members of the Warrior Woman Network to come together. Attendees enjoyed the cognitive benefits of trivia, discovering how it boosts memory and engagement. Laughter was abundant, reducing stress levels and creating an unforgettable evening.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Foundation.

2023 celebrate the women in your tribe

On the 6 March 2023, we hosted a very successful CELEBRATE THE WOMEN IN YOUR TRIBE breakfast event at the Hilton, Sydney.

The event was hosted by Warrior Woman Foundation ambassador and author Jacinta Tynan, the event highlighted the magic that happens when women support women. It was also an opportunity for guests to hear from two of our inspirational Young Warrior Woman Mentees who courageously shared their stories.

Olympian Kerri Pottharst inspired us with her story of the extreme motivation and teamwork it took to win gold, as well as highlighting her work with our Young Warriors in our Young Warrior Woman Program.

To add icing to the cake (literally), it was our third birthday so we had a lot to celebrate.

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.
