Our Mandate and Goals
To provide the education and positive space for LGBTQ youth to become confident leaders. In addition, to create a self-sustaining program where the leaders from the youth group take over presenting the workshops and holding events.
This Working Group is a chance to provide leadership skills and opportunities to LGBTQ youth aged 14-24 and allies to help alleviate helplessness, hopelessness and discrimination to the LGBTQ community. To do this we will hire a project coordinator to provide workshops and lectures to LGBTQ youth about leadership skills and LGBTQ history. These leadership classes will give these youth the skills to better themselves in society. We will also facilitate chemical-free social events once a month that will provide a fun positive space for these youth to hang out in, to allow them the space to grow into a self-confident leader.
