False spring? We’ve got you covered. ☔️

Our Education Coordinator, Molly, brought the colour to our stall at Tennis ACT’s Festival of Tennis last Sunday, rocking our Fearless merch!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat. For Canberra’s next change of season (later today, probably), grab a Fearless Women brolly or pullover and support our work with girls and young women.

Monday night's Fearless Connections was a spooky Halloween Game Night filled with axe-throwing, games, a char-spookerie board and great convos

Fearless Connections is our events program for women aged 18-25 to show up on their own, try something new and leave knowing someone they didn't before.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! Looking forward to seeing you again for Urban Orienteering on 23 November!

$30,000 can do a lot. But for us, it means that more girls and young women can have someone in their corner who sees them clearly, takes them seriously, believes in what they can become and helps them believe it too.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Chamberlain Foundation for welcoming Fearless Women as its newest beneficiary and for an extraordinary $30,000 donation to support our work across Canberra and the surrounding region. Peter, Cristy and Melissa Chamberlain, together with Daniel D’Onofrio, recently joined us at Fearless Women HQ to present the donation, learn more about our work and get to know the team behind it.

Thank you, Chamberlain Foundation, for standing beside the next generation of fearless women. 💜

We don’t expect our mentors to have all the answers. We provide training and ongoing support to help them be the best mentors they can be.

Last week, that meant a professional development session on child safety in practice, covering how to respond to disclosures and understand reporting responsibilities.

All five mentors who completed our feedback survey said the session helped them learn or confirm skills they can use in their mentoring. All five also said they feel supported by Fearless Women.

Could you be someone in a young woman's corner?

Mentoring takes less than two hours a fortnight, and we'll support you along the way.

A lot can happen in a month when you're Fearless.

Over the past month, mentoring community celebrated the 8ters and Naughty Nines as they graduated from their two-year program.

Elsewhere, mentors and mentees kept connecting through Drum Circle for Joy, Twilight Tennis and an Evening with the Stars at Mount Stromlo.

At the same time, our Education team was out in schools delivering sessions with girls and young women, including a visit to St Bede’s, and sometimes, on very good days, the best feedback comes in the form of a hand-drawn “thank you Fearless Women” left behind afterwards.

Giving girls and young women more opportunities to learn about themselves, try new things, build confidence and have good people around them is what we do best and what brings us the most joy.

Next week, Fearless Connections kicks off with candle making.

Come along on 28 September, 6–8pm for a relaxed night of making, food and meeting new people at Fearless Women Headquarters.

This is the first of four Fearless Connections events between now and the end of the year, created for women aged 18 to 25 who want more ways to connect in a safe space without alcohol being the centre of it.

And thanks to the generosity of a donor, all four events are completely free.

Come solo. Make a candle. Meet some people. See where it goes.

Help shape Fearless Women’s next home

The lease on Fearless Women's headquarters ends later this year, so we are beginning the process of finding a new office space. We want to make sure our next location supports the needs of our community.

This short, anonymous survey asks about travel, accessibility, safety and the types of spaces you feel are important.
