Indigenous Female Mentor Support Program
Access to mentoring support has been identified as one of the more sustainable methods to break down the barriers of disadvantage. Empower Me identifies strong, young, Indigenous, female leaders and offers them employment and training. The program gives vulnerable Indigenous young girls a connection point at school, both in and outside of the classroom.
