Forward Foundation Ambassadors for 2024

Forward Foundation is a New Zealand registered charity. Founded in 2012, the charity's mission is to empower girls through sport & active recreation, helping to create contributing community members who are confident, resilient and independent. We do this by making sport & active recreation a positive experience for all girls, increasing the number of girls participating in sport and allowing them to use the experience to develop life skills in their own time and unique way.

In 2022, Emma Cunningham became our first Forward Foundation Ambassador.

What's Involved?

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.

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 Leadership award levels, specifically designed for teenage girls active in sport and recreation. The three levels are Spark, Quest and Challenge.

Each level requires Ambassadors to attend Forward Foundation Ambassador Conferences, set goals and occupy an active role with the aim of increasing participation in their sport, and participate in discussion forums with other Ambassadors from across New Zealand.

We’re looking for girls willing and passionate about kicking goals and helping girls' get active in New Zealand.

Applications are now open for kōhine wishing to participate in the 2024 Forward Foundation Ambassador Programme at the Spark level.  

Apply Here before the 24th November
