Our Programs
At Country to Canberra we deliver four inspiring programs, plus two alumni networks to support young rural women into the future. Learn more below!
We run a prestigious annual competition across Australia that awards winners with a ‘Power Trip’ to Canberra. Over five incredible days, winners are mentored by inspiring politicians and CEOs, receive leadership and public speaking training, tour Parliament, attend exciting events, get their work published and more! Most importantly, the girls are empowered to return home to apply their skills in their local communities, supported with a formal mentor.
Country to Canberra’s national workshop series empowers teenage girls to reach their leadership potential. We hold workshops in rural and remote communities with high school aged girls to discuss self-esteem, sexual harassment, respectful relationships, intersectionality, goal-setting, and their futures. In 2018, we drove 32,000km to reach 3,500 young women. We are now in-planning to expand this incredible program to phase two.
We facilitate and mentor a team of teenage bloggers living across Australia to give young rural women a forum to discuss key issues, build their writing skills and kick start their advocacy experience. Girls can sign up anytime to join our inclusive online community!
We connect young women with established mentors to assist with goal-setting, managing stress and their futures. Held on a safe online forum with monthly ‘worksheets’ to steer the conversation, mentees are actively supported to achieve their goals.
