Want to boost your life skills, make an impact, and get a taste of life in the fire and emergency services? If you’re aged 14-19, register now for the FREE Girls Fire and Resilience Program, part of the NSW Regional Fire-UP initiative. Have FUN while learning cool stuff and essential skills and knowledge from local emergency services mentors, preparing you to confidently face emergencies and assist others.
The workshop will be held in Moree on Wednesday, October 30th at the RFS Fire Control Centre. All young women are welcome in this safe and inclusive space, with a special encouragement for young women and teens from First Nations and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to attend the program.
The Fire-Up program offers a hands-on, practical experience where young women are inspired to try new things. Led by NSW fire and emergency service personnel and regional community volunteers, it fosters teamwork, confidence, resilience, and leadership. Participants engage in physical group activities, stepping outside their comfort zones to build essential life skills. Local mentors and activity facilitators provide guidance and inspiration in an experiential learning setting.
The Fire-Up Girls Fire & Resilience program not only equips young women with essential skills but also empowers them to explore rewarding careers or volunteer opportunities in the fire and emergency service. Participants will leave the program with the confidence, skills, and emergency preparedness knowledge to stay safe, help their communities and understand their important role in community resilience.
Please select if you would like to attend as a participant or volunteer assisting on the day.
