See what Melbourne City FC have been up to in the community over the past week with the Melbourne City FC’s City Sisters program headlining the update.
City Sisters
The Melbourne City and MatchWorks ‘City Sisters’ program headed to the Radisson Hotel in Melbourne last week for another exciting day of the program.
Louisa Bisby and Sue Crow conducted a personal training session for the young women in Flagstaff Gardens before heading in to the Radisson for a back of house tour and presentation from Steve Finlayson, the General Manager of the hotel. The purpose of trip was to gain an understanding of working in hospitality and how the young women should prepare and present themselves for job interviews.

Young leaders Manchester Trip
Cityzens Giving are bringing young leaders from all around the World together for a week long summit at the City Football Academy in Manchester. The young leaders who head up City Football Foundation projects worldwide will gain the skills, confidence and networks to advance themselves and transform their communities. Melbourne City is delighted to be sending 4 leaders from the “I Speak Football” program, 1 assistant coach from the Yarra Cityzens program and 1 student from SEDA.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for young leaders from all across the world to come together and gain the skills required to take home and grow their local communities,” said Simon Zappia, Melbourne City FC Game Development Officer.
“It will truly be an experience of a lifetime for all involved.”
