Outreach

It can be really scary and daunting for young people to come along to an LGBT youth group for the first time.  Some people might have never heard that there was a group running two streets away, or might be too scared to walk through the door.  To make sure that people know that we are here, we run outreach sessions in a range of different places.

We run internet outreach sessions using Bebo and Facebook as a way to speak to young people all over Scotland.  We also run face to face outreach sessions in a range of different places.  This can be at school during personal/social education (PSE) classes, youth groups, at our events, on the ‘gay scene’, on the street, and at other events for young people all over Scotland.

All our outreach workers are fully trained youth workers who are available to give you advice and support, information about our work, and give you free resources like badges, stickers and pens.  They’re easy to spot in their LGBT Youth Scotland T shirts and ID badges, and they’re always cheery to see folk who want to find out more about our work and how they can help us make Scotland a better place for LGBT young people.
