The Women’s Mentoring Foundation, in collaboration with key partners, is set to host two major events in October aimed at empowering women, fostering resilience, and strengthening communities across Queensland.
The first event, titled “Building Confidence • Creating Opportunities • Strengthening Communities”, will be held on October 1, from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm at the MCCQ Office, 391 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill. Supported by the Multicultural Community Connect Queensland (MCCQ) and the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust, this program will focus on building self-leadership, confidence, and social integration through cultural inclusion activities such as storytelling, interfaith understanding, and intercultural sharing. It will also provide practical guidance on employment readiness, including resume writing, interview preparation, and communication skills, while offering long-term support for job retention. In addition, participants will hear inspiring stories from past attendees who transformed their journeys from isolation to leadership, strengthening the spirit of peer-led inclusion and resilience.
Later in the month, on October 29, the Women’s Mentoring Foundation will deliver another significant program in partnership with the Queensland Government and Gold Coast Magic. This free and interactive workshop, to be held at 32 Hinde Street, Ashmore from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm, is designed especially for women and young people to build confidence and connect with others in a supportive environment. The session promises to be engaging and practical, with a focus on helping participants gain skills, share experiences, and strengthen their networks.
Both events highlight the Foundation’s continuing mission of empowering women and preventing harm, with strong support from community organisations and government partners. Registrations and bookings can be made by contacting 0497 998 829 or emailing info@womensmentoringfoundation.com.
