Student Andreena Kardamis awarded 'Young Citizen of the Year'
Congratulations to University of Newcastle student, 19-year-old Andreena Kardamis, who was honoured with ‘Young Citizen of the Year’ awards on Australia Day.
Andreena, who was named Young Citizen of the Year for Lake Macquarie, is a full-time Business and Law student and is the driving force behind the Lake Macquarie Youth Advisory Council where she is currently serving her second year as Chair.
Andreena was selected as a member of the NSW Youth Parliament, and filling the roles of Shadow Attorney General and Shadow Minister for the Central Coast, she developed a petition for placing life mentors and coaches in schools.
Andreena has since worked with Lake Macquarie Youth Development Officer Bradley Dunn to implement a life mentors and coaches program in the Lake Macquarie area. She is a Hunter Life Education ambassador and has helped organise International Youth Day celebrations.
