CHAMPIONS FOR LGBTQIA+ YOUTH

CHANGING THE LIVES OF LGBTQIA+ YOUTH IN AUSTRALIA

We’re leading change, building social inclusion, and advocating for an Australia where all young people are safe, empowered, and surrounded by people that support them.

Life-affirming social inclusion

Through a preventative model of mental health support, we tackle social isolation by creating fun-filled spaces where LGBTQIA+ young people belong and are celebrated. Being visible, making friends and feeling supported are what our events are about.

Education & advocacy

Creating an Australia free from discrimination is a job for everyone. We transform communities through LGBTQIA+ training, resources, and digital campaigns that enable others to champion inclusivity – no matter their location.

Youth Empowerment

We believe in equipping young people with the skills they need to be at the forefront of driving change. Youth are at the forefront of every one of our programs – we’re nurturing and empowering the next generation of LGBTQIA+ leaders.

Legendary partners

Our work wouldn’t be possible without the people who support us. If you’d like to join forces and work together, get in touch!

Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
