Congratulations to the 2023 Graduates of ARA’s Youth Ambassador Program!

There were 37 graduates from Salisbury High School, Craigmore High School, Mark Oliphant College, Kildare College, Salisbury East High School, Golden Grove High School and Le Fevre High School.

This ever-expanding program continues to develop with high school students who are passionate about refugee issues and includes creating Cultural Awareness campaigns and Fundraising events at their schools, exploring Volunteering pathways and earns them 10 Stage 1 SACE credits for their participation in the program.

Throughout the year, these young leaders have developed their advocacy, public speaking and leadership skills to help them engage with the broader community to promote harmony and understanding of refugee issues.

It was amazing to be joined by Deputy Mayor Chad Buchanan JP, City of Salisbury, Matt Burnell MP, Tony Piccolo MP and Blair Boyer MP we are incredibly grateful for your support of this important program.

Thank you to all our peer leaders, staff, teachers and guests who came and celebrated the Youth Ambassadors achievements at the graduation ceremony.

Thank you to the Milner Road Foundation for the funding of the project and thank you to Playford Uniting Church for the wonderful venue and everything you did on the day.
