About the program
The LGBTQ Youth Mentor supports identifying youth in Grande Prairie through gender and sexual diversity education, one-on-one support, and a once a week drop-in.
This is an inclusive program created to give youth, parents, and teachers support. The youth drop-in is a safe space where LGBTQ youth and allies can create and feel connection to others with similar experiences.
Visit our Facebook page or our Instagram for more information of where youth group is being held this week.
If you would like to talk to someone, message the Facebook page, direct message the Instagram, or feel free to email the youth mentor (Samantha) at youthmentor@hivnorth.org.
Whether you’re struggling with your identity, or you know someone who is, reach out. We are able to meet you where you’re at.
