Youth Pride Prom selected for grant

BASS Coast YMCA’s Youth Pride Prom is one of the regional projects selected in today’s grants announcement.

Rainbow communities across Victoria will be celebrated over spring and summer with more than a dozen events and activities as part of the Regional Activation Program for Victoria’s Pride.

Minister for Equality Harriet Shing today announced 13 community groups, organisations and artists will receive $15,000 grants to host LGBTIQ+ focused events, workshops and activities in the 2023-24 program.

Gippsland, Mildura, Shepparton, Wangaratta and Warrnambool are just some of the locations to host the events as part of the annual celebration of Victoria’s diverse LGBTIQ+ communities.

Attendees of the second Bass Coast Youth Pride Prom were treated to glamourous entertainment, environmentally friendly glitter face and body painting, unlimited access to a photo booth, delicious catering including rainbow cupcakes, and free transport to the event for those who needed it on April 14 at this years event.
