2024 Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador Program
Established in 2021, the AFLW Community Ambassador program recognises members from the football community who have been instrumental in facilitating and nurturing the remarkable growth of women and girls’ football.
The program calls on the football community from around the country to nominate someone from their club who has made a change and played a significant role in the growth and success of women and girls footy. It could be a volunteer, coach, administrator, player, umpire – anyone making a difference or having an impact.
Each Chemist Warehouse AFLW Community Ambassador receives a $1,000 grant from the Women’s Football Fund to donate to the club of their choice and the opportunity to be involved in the 2023 NAB AFLW Finals Series.
You can read more about the 2023 Ambassadors here. The 2024 nominations will open soon.
