Rising Leaders Has Officially Launched — And What a Day It Was!
On Saturday 6 September 2026, we proudly inaugurated the Rising Leaders: Sri Lankan Youth Empowerment & Wellbeing Program — and our very first workshop was nothing short of extraordinary. A heartfelt thank you to:
The Queensland Government for funding Rising Leaders through the Strengthening Communities Multicultural Grants Program
Prof Bob Dick for his wisdom and facilitation
Neth Dharmasiri for his inspiring story and generosity
Every single Rising Leader who walked through the door yesterday
To our Rising Leaders — you showed up. You engaged. You inspired each other.
This is just the beginning. Over the next two years, you will MC major events, broadcast on Radio, mentor younger students, attend state-wide youth summits, and govern this program yourselves.
You are not just participants. You are the future of our community.

Registrations are still open until 30 September 2026 for young Sri Lankans aged 14–25. Tag a friend who needs to be part of this! 👇
