All lawyers at the Practice are encouraged to participate in their pro bono program and contribute at least 50 hours of pro bono services per year and this work is offered through casework, clinics and projects.

Through workplace giving and an annual major fundraiser, their people are able to contribute financially to ensure their community partners' autonomy is sustainable.

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PRINTING SPONSOR CANVA ReCharge Conference, UTS Harris Street, Ultimo, 7th & 8th March 2019 | Page 4 CO WELCOME Message from the CEO From all of us at Yfoundations we want to welcome you to ReCharge 2019. Our hope is that this conference is a little bit different. That you are given the opportunity to network, to participate and to gain some insights into what is working across the state. This year we have brought it back to basics... the Rights of the Child. We see these rights compromised in policy. We often negotiate funding over child rights due to budget restraints. Together we need to stand firm, we need to remember the United Nations' protocols our governments signed up to, but m ore importantly, we need to remember that every young p erson deserves to have these rights protected and i mplemented. We are excited to announce that our conference will be opened by Bianca Hunt, former CEO and current mentor at AIME. We welcome all our young people who are bravely sharing their stories and guiding workshops. We welcome our speakers from government, from industry, from community and from the sector. Thank you for your time and energy. Finally, thank you to all the attendees. Thank you for your support, your insights and participation. Enjoy the 1.5 days. Thank you for being a part of ReCharge 2019. Regards.
