The David Wirrpanda Foundation is proud to announce that their Deadly Sista Girlz program has been nominated for a 2013 DEADLY Award under the community category.
Deadly Sista Girlz engages, inspires and empowers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls to be the best they can be.
Delivered by Josie Janz, Alicia Janz, Ashely Walley, Kirby Bentley, Stacey Mourish, Ally Tairi, Melina Saunders, Kate Malpass and Rochelle Dolby, the program offers girls a stable environment to discuss current and personal issues they may be facing while receiving guidance.
The strong mentors aim to connect with the girls as a friend, confidant and a mentor to encourage the girls to become positive role models in their community and achieve every success within their chosen career paths.
Each girl has the opportunity to be personally mentored throughout the program and it is the program’s goal to develop their confidence and resilience so that they believe in themselves and their abilities to achieve success.
The awards are chosen through public vote, so support the Wirrpanda Foundation by visiting the DEADLY Awards page and selecting “Deadly Sista Girlz” in the education section of the community category.
You can vote in as many or few additional categories as you like. Voting closes Sunday, August 18.
