This welcoming Pride Youth Group offers a safe, inclusive and friendly space for LGBTQIA+ young people and their families. Parents can expect a supportive environment where young people connect, make friends, and take part in youth activities designed to foster confidence and belonging.
Each session varies and is designed around connection, fun and meaningful discussion. Sessions might include group conversations, creative activities, excursions, and visits from special guests, all tailored to the needs of young people in the LGBTQIA+ community.
You can expect relaxed, youth-focused sessions that balance social time with opportunities to learn and reflect. This supportive youth group prioritises mental wellbeing, peer connection and practical life skills for teenagers and young people.
Parents will appreciate the professional, caring approach and the emphasis on safety and inclusivity. The program offers consistent, structured evenings that support social development and community connection in Bankstown.
The Pride Youth Group runs on the first and third Thursday of every month, with sessions scheduled from 17:30 to 19:30. Activities change each session to keep engagement high and offer a mix of social, creative and educational experiences for young people.
Sessions are appropriate for youth who identify as LGBTQIA+ or are exploring their identity and are aimed at school-aged young people. Facilitators focus on building friendships, resilience and practical skills through discussion, games and group activities.
The group is free to attend, and each meeting is structured to offer choice and safety for participants. Expect a balance of active and quieter activities so each young person can join in at their comfort level.
Exact location is confirmed once participants are registered, ensuring privacy and a safe venue for attendees. Parents will receive location details directly on registration and via the contact information provided by Council.
Venues are selected to be accessible and welcoming for families, with attention to public transport links and nearby parking where possible. If you need accessibility information, contact council staff prior to attending to discuss adjustments.
The meeting point and any excursion details will be shared with registered families, so parents can plan drop-off and pick-up with confidence. This approach helps maintain a secure, community-focused space for youth attendees.
This is a youth-centred program for LGBTQIA+ young people and aims to create a supportive, confidential environment. Parents are encouraged to reach out to the listed contact for any questions about suitability, safety measures, or session content.
Attendance is free, but places may be limited for particular sessions or excursions, so early registration is recommended. The group is facilitated by trained staff who prioritise child safety and respectful behaviour.
If your child has specific support needs or requires supervision beyond the usual session, please notify organisers ahead of time so reasonable adjustments can be arranged. Communication helps ensure a positive experience for every young person.
Registration is required to secure your child’s place and to receive the confirmed location details. The Council provides a registration link on the event page and will follow up with location and any additional session information after sign-up.
The program is free to attend, making it an accessible option for families seeking supportive youth activities in the community. There are no fees, but you may be asked to register for each session to manage numbers and safety.
For bookings or questions about the Pride Youth Group, contact details are provided on the event page; register early to receive timely updates and location confirmation and to secure your child’s spot for these recurring monthly sessions.
