Helping New Zealand create confident, resilient + independent young girls
Forward Foundation is a New Zealand registered charity. Founded in 2012, the charity's mission is to empower girls through sport & active recreation, helping to create contributing community members who are confident, resilient and independent. We do this by making sport & active recreation a positive experience for all girls, increasing the number of girls participating in sport
and allowing them to use the experience to develop life skills in their own time and unique way.

What's new | Not-So-Sports Club
After a successful pilot, our Not-So-Sports Club is launching full time in 2021. We know traditional sport isn't for everyone, so we've created a club that's fun, free and just for girls. The NSSC offers recreation activities and a chance to make new friends every Wednesday afternoon of the school term for high school aged girls in Canterbury.
Apply Now| Ambassador Programme
Keen for a new opportunity? Love sport and want to improve your leadership skills? Our Ambassador Programme aims to increase participation in girls’ sport through identifying aspirational young female leaders and enabling them to inspire those around them to participate in sport. We’re not looking for the best player in the team, we’re looking for girls willing and passionate about kicking goals and helping grow girls’ sport in New Zealand. Ambassadors must be enrolled in a secondary school (yr 9-13) in NZ for 2022, have initiative, be able to communicate with all age groups and be passionate about creating inclusive physical activity opportunities for girls.
