ActNow.com.au is an awesome website for young people. It gives us information on important issues and makes them easier to understand. It’s also a great place for people to get inspired on taking action.’ Melissa 20, ActNow.com.au member.

The more you understand about an issue the more you’ll feel empowered to do something about it. Use ActNow.com.au to find information on social, political, environmental, lifestyle and topical issues for a non-judgemental and factual snapshot of the bigger picture.  The content is written by young people.

Take action on issues any way you like. Just have a go and let the ActNow.com.au community know what you did, how you did it and what you think the impact was. Sign up as a member and you’ll be able to add your own content to the site such as a ‘thing to do’, a story, an interview, a video, a blog entry or a comment.

The website is also a volunteering hub. Use the site to get in touch with over 200 organisations that are keen to work with young people.

ActNow.com.au is run by The Inspire Foundation, an Australian not-for-profit organisation that creates opportunities for young people to change their world
