Meet
Fearless Women

Where girls and young women can see who and what they can be

Fearless Women provides girls and young women in the ACT with a dedicated outreach and support service which:

  • Encourages them to find their voice and speak without fear of judgment.
  • Offers short-term counselling to help them get through stressful life events.  
  • Equips them with the tools and resources they need to be who and what they want to be. 
  • Offers longer-term mentoring support from a positive female role model.

Allowing girls and young women to live life fearlessly. 

Our History

Backed by research and evidence, Fearless Women was established to meet the ever-increasing needs of girls, young women, and their families within our community.

While mentoring and support programs for boys and young men had been running for several years, Fearless Women recognised that a significant gap existed in the market by not offering similar, girls-only programs.

Our free counselling, mentoring, and education programs provide support, positive role modelling, a sense of belonging, and healthy skills development, allowing girls and young women to fearlessly find their way in life.
