Focusing on the wellbeing of girls and women living in regional area, through a youth engagement program for females aged between 10 and 16

Free2b Girls alongside 52 Women, works with communities to support girls and young women to survive, thrive and navigate the challenges that exist when growing up in regional and remote areas.

“Free2b.. oh it’s just the best- we do craft, I have friends here and there’s food!!”

It began by two women recognising a need in their community for a place where girls can come to that's independent of school, home or sporting clubs. Today, Free2b Groups are thriving around Tasmania.
