Shooting Stars program

Glass Jar Australia’s Shooting Stars Leadership Program works to develop the leadership capability and capacity of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. They achieve this through leadership camps, networking and volunteering, facilitated workshops and opportunities to develop project management and other leadership skills.

This video on the Shooting Stars 2022 Senior Leadership Camp provides a snapshot of how the program helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women develop into strong leaders.

Shooting Stars also undertakes regular yarning circles with Aboriginal girls, women, and their communities. This place-based process allows Shooting Star’s participants, staff, schools and localised steering committee members to take ownership of the program within their community. Through this yarning process, Shooting Stars can identify barriers and facilitators to the empowerment of Aboriginal women. Read more about the Yarning with the Stars Project.
