LGBT Youth Scotland is Scotland’s national charity for LGBTQ+ young people. LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer & questioning, and the positive ‘+’ aims to represent and respect everyone on the gender and sexuality spectrum, including intersex.

Young people are the future of Scotland; our future leaders, teachers and parents. Life can be tough for any young person, but LGBTQ+ young people face unique and additional barriers and that is why LGBT Youth Scotland exists.

We believe Scotland can be a place where all young people can thrive, so we work alongside LGBTQ+ young people to remove those barriers by working both individually, and by amplifying collective voices to influence change.

For more than 20 years we have been creating safe spaces where LGBTQ+ young people aged 13-25 can flourish; reaching their full potential in life, work and education.

Young people are the heart of everything we do: through our innovative youth work, which empowers young people to feel a sense of belonging and achieve their own goals; through our equality accreditation programme, the LGBT Charter, we ensure the places young people live, learn and work are as inclusive as possible; through our youth participation and policy work, we position young people as experts in their own lives and amplify their voices to decision makers to inform positive change.
