At 19 years old, Jules Gabor has established herself as a fearless advocate for young people in Darwin, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to addressing the issues that matter most to her peers.
Named 2024 Darwin Young Citizen of the Year, Jules represents the Northern Territory on a national scale as a UNICEF Australia Young Ambassador. She served as vice-chair of the 2023 NT Youth Round Table, was a member of the first-ever Department of Education’s NT Youth Voice Peak Group and the City of Darwin Youth Advisory Committee, working to represent youth interests at the local government level.
A voice for equal opportunity, particularly for marginalised groups, Jules is developing a podcast series, Heart to Heart: Stories Unleashed, supported by social enterprise Pathfinders NT and the Northern Territory Government. Through this, she aims to further amplify the voices of young people, particularly on youth homelessness, identity and mental health – fostering a sense of community and belonging.
