June 9th, 2023Youth leaders needed for Pride camp

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s WayOut program is on the lookout for LGBTIQA+ youth leaders for this year’s Pride Camp.
Young people who identify as LGBTIQA+ aged 18 to 25 are being sought to help plan and support the delivery of a three-day camp for rainbow young people in the Macedon Ranges.
Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s Pride Camp, has been running for more than 10 years and is an annual event for LGBTIQA+ young people aged 14-18 years, supporting them to build social connections and a sense of belonging, as well as developing knowledge and skills that contribute to good mental health and wellbeing.
One of the youth leaders from last year’s camp shared what being a leader meant
to them: “As a youth leader at pride camp and being a young person myself, it was
extremely valuable to be able to spend time, learn and share from and with the next
generation of young people. I felt a sense of belonging…it felt for me a big full circle
moment.”
If this is something people want to be a part of, register interest by Monday, June
12, via www.surveymonkey.com/r/YouthLeader23.
“No experience is required to be one of our youth leaders, just tons of enthusiasm,” says Mez Lanigan from WayOut.
“This is a great opportunity to learn a whole range of new skills including event planning and management as well as useful leadership skills.”
The camp will take place in October this year. Details: 5421 1666 or email healthpromotion@scchc.org.au
