We are proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Softball Australia (SA) to promote inclusivity and diversity in the sport of softball across Australia. With a shared vision of creating a society where young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds are connected, empowered, and influential, this collaboration will help drive social change through softball.
This partnership will focus on delivering tailored workshops, training sessions, and seminars for both paid and volunteer workforce members, as well as softball associations, clubs, and key stakeholders. These on-the-ground programs will take place in Victoria, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, providing essential education on culturally safe practices and inclusive participation.
“CMSport is excited to collaborate with Softball Australia on this important initiative supported by the Australian Sports Commission’s Play Well funding.”
CMSport Manager, Junior Melo:
This partnership marks a significant milestone for CMSport and Softball Australia as we continue to work together to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion across Australian sports. Both organisations are committed to ensuring every young person, regardless of background, has the opportunity to reach their full potential in a supportive and welcoming environment.
“At Softball Australia, we are committed to making softball accessible to all. Partnering with the Centre for Multicultural Youth allows us to take tangible steps towards breaking down the barriers faced by diverse communities, and we look forward to working with CMY to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment within our sport”.
Softball Australia’s General Manager of Game Development, Clare Walker.
