More about Cairns Hockey Aspire to be Deadly
Cairns Hockey is committed to incorporating social benefit programs within their community support programs. These programs are designed to use hockey as the platform upon which positive change to indigenous young women and girls can be supported. Aspire to be Deadly encourages indigenous young women and girls to join the program, increase their attendance and behavior at school, be invited to specialized workshops and as part of a specially designed Mentor Support Program,develop relationships with female role models and together provide increased opportunity to attain further education and employment while being mentored to exercise positive life choices. Before Aspire to be Deadly, these kind of programs were only offered to young boys through the football codes. Aspire is the first to deliver these opportunities to indigenous young women and girls in the region.
