Youth Off The Streets is a leading Australian youth services organisation. We work with young people, their families and communities to create safety, offer support and provide pathways to a positive future. Their Step Up program works with 16-18 year olds who have experienced childhood trauma and disadvantage. A number of young people who engage with the program also identify as LGBTIQ and /or have friends, siblings or caregivers who do.
They will be using their Small Grant to purchase a rainbow flag, as well as books and magazines that sensitively explores the LGBTIQ experience as a young adult. All items have been endorsed and recommended by the community and will be an important edition to the school’s modest library.
