	Tharuna Youth Group (TYG) is a dynamic organisation whose purpose is to provide opportunities for Sinhalese youth in NSW to enhance their cultural awareness, make a lasting contribution to their community and to also meet new friends and have fun at the same time. It is a meeting point for Sinhalese youth and other youth who have even a passing interest in the Sinhalese culture to meet fellow-minded individuals and get involved in the numerous events and projects that Tharuna offers throughout the course of the year. These events and projects cover a wide scope from cultural projects to community, international, social and charity-oriented events. Created by the Sinhalese Cultural Forum of NSW in 2002, it is now in its fifth year and is currently led by young people with a mission to encompass all Sinhalese youth in Australia from the ages of 17 to 25 years.
