Adriel is a first-year university student living in Metropolitan Victoria. He is Tamil and from Sri Lanka, coming to Australia as a refugee at a young age. He aspires to a career in healthcare and is passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people, especially for those from diverse backgrounds like he is.
Adriel only recently discovered his passion for youth advocacy while in his final years at high school and is interested in encouraging youth participation, even for those who think they have limited experience. Through participating in the Civic Engagement Youth Advisory Group, Adriel hopes to give back to his community while being able to collaborate with like-minded, enthusiastic individuals.
