Sister2sister Foundation

The Sister2sister Foundation’s mission is to help Australia's most marginalised girls grow into strong independent women capable of taking their place in the world. Sister2sister offers youth support and education programs for young girls who have experienced trauma and abuse or come from particularly disadvantaged low socio-economic circumstances. SISTER2sister Mentoring and No Limits 4 Girls are the flagship programs of Sister2sister.

The SISTER2sister Mentoring Program is an evidence-based and trauma-informed youth development program that provides structured mentoring, psychoeducational workshops, and welfare support to vulnerable or disadvantaged teenage girls (Little Sisters) aged from 12-18 years from across Greater Sydney. Little Sisters are matched with professional female mentors (Big Sisters) who are positive stable role models.

NL4G is a School Workshop Series for Year 7 students, designed to empower young women by increasing their resilience, emotional intelligence, stress management skills, and create a strong foundation for personal growth.
