Research continues to illustrate the difficulties faced by young women growing up LGTBQ. Youth Action Northern Ireland is delighted to continue its mentoring programme for young LGBTQ women aged 16-25 across Northern Ireland.

The programme is based on the idea that having an informal, supportive and intentional relationship with a youth worker can bring about positive change. One-to-one sessions seek to support young women in identifying some of the personal barriers they are facing, to adopt action-oriented approaches to these, while developing further support networks.

Where: Mentors are based in Belfast, North West and Fermanagh, with a NI wide remit

Time: Individuals can access 10x 90 minute sessions

Costs: There is no cost for this programme. Referrals from YouthAction member organisations will be prioritised
