Feature organisation - Your World Your Stage
Your World Your Stage is an organisation that offers a selection of programs that empower young people to make positive life choices by becoming actively involved in their community. The programs are available to young people up to 25 years of age with a focus on mental health and well-being.
The founder and director, Mary Aloisi, has a Bachelor of Arts, Diploma of Education, Certificate in Professional Counselling and Business Management and is currently training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Mary’s passion for empowering young people to reach their full potential and make positive life choices stems from the devastating effects of the suicide of her teenage brother in 1990.
Your World Your Stage operates across three major program areas:
CATCH MY DRiFT - a series of in-school and residential programs targeted at upper primary and secondary schools, both public and private, in partnership with Edmund Rice Camps (SA).
What’s YOUR Story - a mobile drama and film production group that takes the most pressing youth issues to the wider community with collaboration from UniSA.
YOUTH Voice – a youth-based activity group that manages major fundraising events such as our annual ball, community sport and a social justice travel program in close association with Youth Central SA .
