Courage to Care NSW is a non-profit organisation dedicated to communicating the importance of moral courage and resilience in the face of prejudice and discrimination. We spread our important message and promote social harmony and inclusivity via educational programs and public exhibitions that we conduct in schools, workplaces, community centres and galleries throughout regional and metropolitan NSW, QLD and the ACT. Established in 1998, Courage to Care is an initiative of Bnai Brith, the worlds oldest community service organisation. With our small team of paid staff, we rely on a network of over 130 volunteers to help spread and deliver our message: that anyone can be an Upstander, and we can all make a difference. Ordinary people are capable of extraordinary acts. If you would like to get in touch with us about organising a program or exhibition, or just want to know more about what we do, wed love to hear from you: admin@couragetocare.com.au
