Last weekend we welcomed a new group of fearless women to our Train the Trainer course in Klagenfurt, Austria. They worked hard, learned a lot but had lots of fun at the same time and now they're off to finalise their Coaches education to then step up in their local club and Meet Run groups to spread the 261 Fearless mission & vision! Well done and welcome! 💜 Would you like to join the movement?

Hello, my name is Yasmin Gabriel. I am 20 years old and currently studying sport science at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiener Neustadt Austria. I recently joined the 261 Fearless team as social media manager and briefly wanted to talk about my experience at 261, starting out as an intern and then moving on to becoming a permanent member of the team. During my time as an intern, I was able to gain experience within various parts of the social media management sector. In addition, 261 fearless presented me with the opportunity to become a part of a powerful international women’s network. As I continue working at 261 fearless and learning more about the mission and vision of the organization, I’m sure that I want to play a long term role within the team. As a part of the team, I’m gaining further knowledge on women empowerment and why it is still of major importance in today’s world. I am excited and honored to be a part of an organization like 261 Fearless!
