The 19-year-old leg-spinner will be running the final session of the WDCA's after school program for girls from 4.30pm at Mack Oval.
But following the session the 2018 ICC Twenty20 World Cup champion will open up about her journey from grassroots to the international stage and to sign autographs in the ground's club rooms from 5.30pm.
Cricket Victoria Participation Officer Jason Elliott said Wareham had an inspirational story to share.
"The reason we approached her is because we think she has a wonderful story to talk about," he said.
"As a girl from the country who has had a quick rise to fame on the international stage and just two years after playing local competitions she has won a twenty 20 world cup and become a regular first-choice spinner.
"It is remarkable to have her attached to local area and I hope her story will inspire more girls to fall in love with the game."
