Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

Our Vision: A strong and active national women's support movement working together to advance young women in the Australian community, one woman at a time. Our Mission: To empower young women to become resilient, independent and capable of taking their place in the world. Our Purpose: To provide holistic evidence-based support programs to empower under-represented vulnerable young women to achieve independence through mental and financial wellbeing. The Warrior Woman Foundation provides holistic evidence-based support programs for under-represented vulnerable young Australian women aged 17- 25+ years who lack the necessary familial or community support to become resilient and independent. We have a particular focus on young women at risk of not completing their final years of high school, young women leaving the out-of-home care system and young women who would simply benefit from some guidance and direction. Our flagship program, the 6-month Young Warrior Woman Program combines life-skills education, mental health support, and the connection to a safe and nurturing group of female mentors. The program has a strong focus on financial literacy and job readiness, as well as trauma healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. The program bridges the gap between adolescence and the "emerging adulthood" stage. To ensure that these young women do not fall through the cracks we provide a strong safety net of support which includes peer support, group mentoring and weekly one-to-one mentoring. Based on the Self Determination Theory, the Young Warrior Woman Program is designed to foster independence and overall well-being. The Warrior Woman network was formed to bring like-minded individuals together to identify and create ways to support the young women of Australia who are our future, ensuring they are seen, heard, and valued. We are a strong and active national support movement of positive women who are mothers, business owners, community leaders, as well as advocates for the advancement of women in Australia.
The Future Robotics Alliance (FRA) is a not-for-profit incorporated association based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The FRA committee is drawn from Melbourne based FIRST mentors, alumni and parents, volunteers and sponsor organisations. Our core aim is to grow the First Robotics Competition in Australia by providing off-season FIRST Robotic Competition events in Victoria.
The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.

At CCA we dream of a future that is free of Crohn's and colitis. We empower people to live fearlessly while we help search for a cure. At CCA we're about improving quality of life by helping people understand, respond to and actively manage their care. We want people to be authentic and unapologetic about their Crohn's or colitis - whether that leaves them laughing or crying. On our journey to finding a cure, our ambition is to empower and support our community - encouraging innovation, advancing quality of care and facilitating new knowledge informed by deeper research. Fundamentally, we are an advocate and an educator, leading tough conversations about taboo topics. We know being fearless means there will still be bad days, bad months or bad years - this is a long-term and life-altering condition. It's about giving people the courage, confidence and ability to face things head on. Because in fearlessness, there is strength.
