South Australian Youth Forum
Changing the World Today, not Tomorrow
The South Australian Youth Forum recognises the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and extend our respect to all and future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This land is and forever will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples land.
A platform to inspire, educate, and empower.
A community led by young people, for young people.
A powerful voice for youth.
The South Australian Youth Forum Inc. is the state’s largest youth-led advocacy organisation, founded by Amber Brock-Fabel at age 17 in 2021, to amplify young voices and drive systems change. We create spaces for young people aged 14-24 to connect, lead, and be heard through issue-based workshops, state-wide engagement, and Reports presented to ministers and decision-makers. Our work has sparked world-first research into youth loneliness, led to national presentations on mental health and period justice, and shaped policy. Equally important, our Forum fosters a strong community where young people from across the state can connect, build friendships, and share experiences. Now a registered not-for-profit, our dual-branch model and team ensure the Forum remains youth-led, evolving with the needs, voices, and diversity of young South Australians.
