LGBT Youth Scotland currently supports three Youth Commissions; groups of young people from across Scotland who work together on specific topics and campaign for change that will improve the lives of LGBT young people.
We currently have spaces available for a small number of young people who currently attend our youth groups but who are not currently involved in the youth commissions to join us for a weekend residential where we will be developing skills for activism, team building, confidence building and developing resources and planning for the future. We will also be taking part in some outdoor activities.
Sign-ups will close on Sunday 20th October but early registration is advised as we have 24 places in total for young people. You'll find the link to sign up for the residential at the end of this page.
