The Olave Program is a non-formal flexible framework that supports young women to engage with their community, undertake adventures, and grow through self-development. Facilitated by peer leaders and informal mentors, the program enables young women to be empowered decision-makers within their world.
Organised into peer groups young women can decide how to engage in the program, in a way that works for them. Some peer groups meet monthly, while others meet at events or around particular activities of interest. Olaves can be Members of multiple peer groups and can also participate independently.
