The Diversity Project – Greater Shepparton and Moira Shire
The Diversity Project offers a safe space and friendly face for young LGBTIQA+ people in Greater Shepparton and Moira Shire.
People who identify as LGBTIQA+ come from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. Everyone deserves to feel safe, included and supported in their community. The Diversity Project helps young people feel connected and welcomed through safe spaces, education and support.
How does the Diversity Project provide support?
At the centre, we provide support to diverse communities through education and creating safe spaces. You’ll be supported through a combination of:
