Founder of River Tracks, youth worker, community organiser
Ahri Tallon is a youth worker, community organiser and community development worker based in Murwillumbah, NSW; Moorang-Moobar of the Bundjalung language group. After working in systems advocacy and campaigning organisations for most of his life his interest has transitioned towards community work where he seeks opportunities to work with young people to support emotional and social wellbeing, positive identities and community participation.
Ahri’s long-term vision is to find ways to weave together his passions of youth work, rites of passage, economic development and regenerative farming through a local place based community development approach. Currently he is working towards this by leading the establishment of RiverTracks, a program for youth at risk based on the successful BackTrack Youth Works organisation in Armidale.
