New to Fun Fearless Females? Book a Meet & Greet!
Before attending your first program or event, we like to meet with you and tell you all about our amazing services while getting to know you a bit. At initial meetings we provide information about all of our services, give opportunities for questions and getting to know each other as well as learning more about your needs and sharing how we can best support them. If you would like someone to attend the meeting with you, please feel free to include them.

While we specialize and focus on supporting women with developmental disabilities, ALL WOMEN are welcome to access our supportive services and group programs. Our group social events are open to women 18+, however, our 1:1 support services are available to females of all ages. Our services are centered around supporting women of ALL abilities and we believe that ALL women can benefit from our services.

Where do you host your group programs and events?
We host our group programs and events primarily in Guelph ON, however, we will also venture out to neighbouring communities (Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Fergus, Elora, Toronto etc.) - especially for bigger events and trips like those during the summer months.
For virtual events (such as Ladies Nights, Stretch & Unwind + Strengthen to the Beat classes and our Life Skills Workshops) we host them on a video web conferencing platform called Zoom.
Are your group programs, events and 1:1 support services fully accessible?
We strive to make as many of our programs and events as possible physically accessible for those attending. Unfortunately our communities are not always fully accessible and so we do our best to host events in locations that are fully accessible as much as possible.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the accessibility of any scheduled event or program.

Policies
Cancellation Policy - Please know that Fun Fearless Females does not offer refunds for its 1:1 Support Services or Group Programming once registration has occurred (regularly scheduled sessions have been arranged or an invoice has been sent) and/or payment has been received. For 1:1 Support Services we require 30 days notice should you choose to end regularly scheduled support sessions, otherwise the regular fee will continue to be applied to your account. We understand that “life happens” and that there may be exceptional circumstances which prevent you from attending a pre-paid/pre-booked program or service, and so we may credit your account on a case-by-case basis. Illness or inclement weather will not warrant a credit to your account unless the program/service for which you have pre-registered has been canceled by the Fun Fearless Females.
Fun Fearless Females reserves the right to cancel pre-booked programs and services in unavoidable situations (examples include: low registration, personal emergency etc.). If this occurs full refunds will be made. No refund will be given if services are being canceled due to the participant presenting a threat or causing harm to Fun Fearless Females’ staff, volunteers, participants or community members.
If you have any questions regarding this policy please contact lori@funfearlessfemales.ca. for more information.
Late Payment Policy - Payments must be received on or before the due dates specified on all invoices sent by Fun Fearless Females - failure to do so will result in a $20.00+hst administrative fee for each occurrence. This fee will be applied to the individual's account who is accessing Fun Fearless Females services and if payment can not be made on or before the dates specified they may be asked by Fun Fearless Females staff not to attend services or programs until their account has returned to good standing.
We do not want finances to be a barrier in attending our programming. Please let us know if you need support with or experience difficulties in making payments for their scheduled due dates - we are here to help!
