About Us
Tamil Youth Organisation (TYO) of Australia is a non profit organisation, established on the 22nd November 2004 and is an establishment that focuses on uniting the Tamil youths across Australia and to help promote & understand our unique language, history, culture and identity.
TYO aims to enrich the knowledge of Tamil youths with our ethnic background and to provide a better understanding of both political and humanitarian issues that affect our home land. Through this we aim to make them better identify themselves amongst the multicultural society of Australia.
TYO passionately feels that Today’s youth are tomorrow’s future, and wish to empower and recognise the voice of the youth, promoting understanding and acceptance between our community and others worldwide. Our motivation lies in the belief that through encouraging unity, the Tamil language and identity will be preserved for us and for the future youths in Australia.
TYO provides a place for likeminded youths to convene and focus on identifying themselves with our unique roots. We are determined to provide a better life for our fellow compatriots and to enhance the integrity of the Tamil nation.
As Australian Tamils, we feel a sense of responsibility to our country and our people. Our organisation will also promote community projects for the benefit of the Australian community as we are both proud to be Tamil and Australian.
Through our projects and events we aim to help the most disadvantaged communities both locally in Australia, as well as overseas in North & East of Sri Lanka, and emphasise the need to contribute back to the wider community. TYO events aim to instil a sense of pride and responsibility with the hope of creating good citizens out of our youth.
