Pop icon Dannii Minogue is encouraging LGBTQIA+ young adults to sign up as ambassadors with Just Like Us. The LGBTQIA+ young people’s charity, Just Like Us is known for School Diversity Week, their annual UK-wide celebration of LGBTQIA+ equality in schools and colleges.
Additionally, their Ambassador Programme allows LGBTQIA+ youth to participate in career mentoring, skills workshops, media opportunities and training to speak in schools across the country.
Various ambassadors have written for GAY TIMES about their experiences, from coming out as trans to Muslim parents to the lack of support for LGBTQ+ people in schools. “What Just Like Us endeavour to do is to make all young LGBT+ people feel seen, heard and represented.
If you are 18 to 25 and you are LGBT+, you can sign up for their ambassador role,” Dannii says in a video message. “This means you’ll go into schools, share your story, speak to other young people and make them feel so secure.
