Quote: “I believe in the power of local communities and local action. I have always been driven by the desire to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible in diverse settings and to bring that back home, where I can put it to use in meaningful ways. That’s why this summer in Washington D.C. is such a tremendous opportunity for me!.”

Ádám Turi is a committed community advocate who is studying law at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest and already holds a degree in political science.
Ádám was only 15 when he was elected student council president at his high school and soon after became the founding president of Komárom’s Student Council Alliance. What began as a small, ambitious group of students quickly grew into a vibrant local youth movement, launching school radio, student clubs, and citywide events that sparked a culture of participation. This early experience in community building and advocacy set the stage for his later roles: President of Pázmány University’s Student Union, Vice President of the National Youth Council, and today, President of the Hungarian Youth Conference and Komárom’s youngest elected municipal representative.
