Developing young female leaders in sport.

The Forward Foundation is now taking applications for our 2024 Ambassadors Programme! Our Ambassador Programme aims to increase participation in girls’ sports through identifying aspirational young female leaders and enabling them to inspire those around them to participate in sport. Your schools all currently have members participating in the programme this year and we hope to have more next year!

We’re not looking for the best player in the team, we’re looking for girls willing and passionate about kicking goals and helping grow girls’ sport in New Zealand. Ambassadors receive leadership and personal development opportunities, an environment to grow as a person and the chance to create meaningful change through our Pathway Level Awards, specifically designed for teenage girls involved in sport.

Our programme is proudly co-designed with our Ambassadors to ensure it meets the needs of the kōhine who participate. Allowing girls to identify what opportunities they would like ensures our kōhine are leading and taking charge of their own journey, experiences and connections.

If you know someone who would be the right fit for the programme encourage them to put through an application. Applications are open until the 24th of November.
