I've never heard of Reach Out!, who's behind it?
Reach Out! is an initiative of the Inspire Foundation; we are a motley crew of people who are passionate about: a) working with young people aged 16-25 b) making a difference (although it might sounds corny we mean it) c) using the internet to create opportunities for people to change their world
Our Youth Ambassadors are the true faces behind RO. They are a group of 80 young people from all over Australia who have a say in everything we do to the service! They write content, help with our media campaigns and just basically reach-a-fy everything! If you want to know about the driving force behind the Reach Out! service & what they get up to, check out their My Space !

Books:

The Other Side of the Blue

The Reach Out! Crew have got an amazing new book they want to tell you about. It’s called The Other Side of Blue and it’s a moving anthology of 20 Australian stories by writers who have faced and survived many daunting challenges such as sexual and physical abuse, family breakdowns, 'coming out', cancer, depression, drug addiction and death. Contributors include Jess Hardy from TV's Big Brother, Chris Cheney from rock group The Living End and former Olympian athlete Kyle van der Kuyp.

The Other Side of Blue offers hope to those in their early adult years who may be facing similar challenges and shows that there is a way through ... to the other side of blue.

Editor, Michale Colling, is kindly donating 10% of all sales from The Other Side of Blue to Reach Out! To find out more, have a look at their website, Finch Publishing .
