In 2021, Monica Edgar from Broome in WA was the first ever recipient of the WELA Alumni Funded First Nations Scholarship. Created and funded by WELA Alumni to fund a First Nations women to participate in the WELA Leadership Development Program

First Nations women and gender diverse people have been standing tall for Country for millenia. But we know their voices are so often unsupported, unpaid, and unrepresented in decision making spaces. By supporting more indigenous women in their leadership, we can mutually learn, empower and support each other towards environmental and First Nations justice.  

Calling all WELA Alumni – Will you make a donation today and support a First Nations woman to participate in the WELA 2022 program?
