💜 Today is Wear It Purple Day! 💜

At the Y, we’re proud to stand with LGBTQIA+ young people, creating safe, inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive.

This year’s theme is "Colours of Courage" which celebrates the many different forms of courage shown by LGBTQIA+SB young people, allies and communities every day.

Courage can look like speaking up, standing out and creating change. It can also take quieter forms of bravery, likecoming out, asking for support, standing beside someone, or choosing pride and hope in spaces where being yourself does not always feel easy.

Help us create a world where every young person feels seen, valued, and supported.
