Overview of Our Not-for-Profit Organisation

At Away from Keyboard (AFK) Inc., based in Seymour, Victoria, our mission is to tackle social isolation by inspiring meaningful connections and fostering real-world engagement. We are a not-for-profit organisation in the exciting founding stages of our journey, driven by a vision to help children, youth, and adults step away from their screens and rediscover the joy of connecting in person (IRL – in real life).

Our focus extends beyond promoting connection; we’re committed to creating inclusive opportunities for all. Whether you’re navigating life with a disability, facing financial hardship, or living in a rural or regional area, we believe in the power of evidence-based play and engaging activities to build strong, vibrant communities.

Though our initiative is still in its early days, our passion is strong, and our goals are clear: to create spaces and experiences that help people of all ages and backgrounds go AFK and embrace adventures IRL. Together, we’re building a future where technology complements life rather than defines it—where personal connections take centre stage.

Join us in shaping a movement that brings people together, fosters belonging, and inspires new possibilities. Adventure awaits when we go AFK!
