What can you expect?
Underground Women’s Program is a diverse, empowering, fun, and engaging program based on youth interests and activities such as cooking, arts and crafts, sports, games, school holiday programs, self-defence, dance and so much more. Underground Women’s is for young women aged between 12 – 25 who live, work, or play in the City of Melbourne. We welcome all young women to join us and make some fun memories in our program. contact 03 96636733 or email enquiries@ds.org.au
Is permission required?
Short answer – yes, pick a registration form up on program.
ALSO – You can just turn up and meet other young women and if you start attending regularly we will ask you to complete a registration form.
Why do you need to complete a registration form?
the drum registration form should have all the deets you need, and also for your parent, guardian or carer. The form outlines what the Underground Women’s activities are, including ours and your responsibilities. We also need emergency contact details, we usually don’t need them, but just in case we need to contact your parent, guardian or carer in case of an emergency. It is also useful to know – and if we don’t ask – we don’t know about any spiritual, health, dietary and wellbeing needs you may have.
If you are under 18 the registration form needs to be signed by your parent, carer or guardian to complete registration form.
If you are over 18 you can sign this for yourself but we’ll still need some emergency contact details.
We absolutely keep your information confidential and we respect your privacy.
If you want to be super organised and bring the registration form on your first visit to the program. Otherwise, we can provide a paper copy when you attend the program.
