One Girl Australia (AU, 81139793623) Browse events

One Girl is a non-profit organisation on a mission to educate 1 million girls across Africa by 2020. We believe that every girl has the right to an education—no matter where she is born, how much her parents earn, what her culture says, or what religion she adheres to. Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and be the best she can be. And when you educate a girl, she can change her world. We currently work in Sierra Leone, West Africa—one of the world’s worst places to be born a girl. A girl born in Sierra Leone is more likely to be sexually assaulted than she is to attend high school. Only one in six girls are able to attend high school, 28 per cent will be married before they are 15, and one in eight will die during child birth. But we can change all of that. We work to educate and empower girls through scholarships, school awesomisation (making schools safe learning environments), business training and providing access to sanitary pads.

CREATE Foundation (AU, 69088075058) Browse events

CREATE Foundation is creating a better life for children and young people in care. With almost 40,000 kids in care, CREATE Foundation needs your help now more than ever! Most children come into care after being neglected or physically abused and through no fault of their own. They often grow up in a series of different foster homes, often missing out on a lot of school and finding it difficult to form close friendships. When they are older, they experience higher levels of homelessness, drug or alcohol dependence, justice system involvement and early parenthood. CREATE works to change all of this through its programs and support services. You can help to make a massive difference to the lives of these young people and help turn around these shocking statistics: • 34.7% were homeless in the first year of leaving care • 45.5% of boys were involved in the juvenile justice system • 65% of young people did not complete year 12 • 28.5% were unemployed (national average = 9.7%) Support CREATE Foundation to create a better life for children and young people in care!

Youth Advocacy Centre (AU, 11746358763) Browse events

Youth Advocacy Centre, known affectionately as YAC, is a legal and social welfare agency for young people generally aged 10-18 years living in the Greater Brisbane area. It provides more limited services to young people in other parts of the State. YAC is dedicated to delivering social justice for young people, and to transforming the lives of those caught in the youth justice and/or child protection systems. We do this in a number of ways – by providing free legal services to young people in trouble with the law, and by providing free youth support and family support to help address the issues which caused a young person to offend in the first place. YAC also delivers community legal education across the State to people working with young people, and advocates for youth rights. At YAC we believe that young people in trouble with the law are not “bad kids”. We know that it is much more complex than that – from our own experience and from the wealth of research about young offenders. We know that young people entrenched in the criminal justice system often have significant social, welfare and relationship problems. And we believe that positive intervention while people are still young can help transform lives, for the good of the whole community.

Youth Opportunities (AU, 84615401812) Browse events

So many young people in our community live with abuse, neglect, depression, self doubt, anger or no sense of direction. Without adequate support and guidance they are unable to cope with day to day challenges that life presents and potentially face an uncertain future as they transition from adolescence into adulthood. Through an intensive 10 week Personal Leadership Program delivered to Year 10 students across South Australia, Youth Opportunities assists around 700 young people each year across South Australia. The Program engages and extends participants’ knowledge and skills in areas not typically part of their schooling but that are crucially important to life, teaching young people to take responsibility for their behaviour and make positive choices for their future. As a result of the Program young people become more engaged in school, confident and better equipped to deal with challenges, in turn placing less strain on social services. With no core Government funding, Youth Opportunities relies on the support of the community to continue to achieve outcomes for young people.
