A new Ballarat leadership network dedicated to females aged 15 and over is proving a success through local sporting and active recreation circles.
The Ballarat Active Women’s Leadership Network sessions are designed for female sport and recreation enthusiasts who have an interest in networking, personal growth and development.
The focus of these sessions is around engagement and empowerment of women and girls. The sessions also provide a safe and supportive environment to share insights, challenges and creative opportunities to be active and stay active.
The objectives of the network include the creation of a safe environment to encourage social connectedness and friendships between the female participants.
Currently facilitated online by the City of Ballarat, Sports Central and community leaders, the network also encourages the development of our local female champions and future leaders.
Due to COVID-19 this group is staying connected through Facebook. The second face to face session is scheduled for later this year.

Sports Central will be working with clubs on the Leading from the Front – Alcohol and Other Drugs Safety – We All Win pilot project over the next few weeks. Leading from the Front is a community sport health promotion initiative with the aim of raising awareness of health, safety and wellbeing issues across the Central Highlands.
Sports Central are excited to be supporting the delivery of Inclusive Sport in Schools in partnership with Special Olympics Australia. The program improves the health and wellbeing outcomes of students with an intellectual disability and autism through the delivery of inclusive sport and physical activity in a school setting.
