Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
