Youth Pride MCR is a project by Manchester Pride which aims to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ young people and their allies.
We facilitate fun and educational workshops in safe and accessible spaces, providing young queer people with opportunities to have fun and connect with like-minded individuals across the city.
Youth Pride hosts regular sessions, where young people aged 14-18 can develop new and existing skills, make new friends and explore diverse identities in a safe, supportive and nourishing environment.
Are you 14-18? We have an exciting opportunity for all young LGBTQ+ people and their allies!
If you want to meet more LGBTQ+ people and their allies, have fun, win prizes and loads more, then get involved with our free workshops!
We hold one workshop a month where you can get involved with content creation for our Youth Pride Instagram account and lots more, plus you'll make loads of new friends and hang out with other LGBTQ+ young people and their allies across the city.
Each workshop will last for one hour and there will be games, quizzes, youth-led projects and special guests.
Youth Pride Workshops
Workshops will be led by the Manchester Pride Engagement Team who are fully trained and have lots of experience working with young people - they're also nice and fun!
Some of the activities and projects will happen across more than one workshop, so it's a good idea to keep coming back and spend more time with your new Youth Pride pals.
“What I enjoy most about the workshops is getting to spend time with amazing people.” - Youth Pride MCR attendee
If you're under 16, you will need parent/caregiver consent before joining. Workshops will be led by a trained and qualified leader with years of experience, and a member of the Manchester Pride team.
