Out and About LGBT&Q Women’s Mentoring Programme

Posted on by

 

YouthAction Northern Ireland is delighted to extend its mentoring programme to young LGBTQ women aged 16 – 25 years across Northern Ireland.
The programme is premised upon the benefits that can arise from having an informal, supportive and purpose driven relationship with a youth worker. One-to-One sessions seek to support young women in identifying some of the personal barriers they are facing, to adopt action orientated approaches to these, while developing further support networks.
