Calling all young LGBTQ+ changemakers!
Belong To – LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland is now accepting applications to its Youth Advisory Panel!
Belong To’s Youth Advisory Panel is a group of LGBTQ+ young people who come together to support Belong To in achieving our vision of a society where LGBTQ+ young people are equal, safe and thriving.
What does Belong To’s Youth Advisory Panel do?
All of Belong To’s work is rooted in and driven by the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ young people. To support this, members of Belong To’s Youth Advisory Panel take part in a number of activities,
including:
● attend an in-person training day in Dublin on Saturday, April 27th to develop media and campaigning skills.
● act as ambassadors for Belong To in the media, at events and in external meetings with politicians and other organisations.
● shape and develop national campaigns on areas including mental health, anti-bullying and online safety.
● give input to key policy and advocacy areas including education, healthcare and LGBTQ+ equality.
● benefit from skills-based trainings and workshops.
