Services for Young People supports young LGBT+ people through youth work projects and our 11-5 Hubs
Services for Young People (SfYP) runs youth work projects for young LGBT+ people across Hertfordshire. They are safe environments where young people can meet other LGBT+ people, get support from qualified SfYP Youth Workers and Advisers, learn new things and have fun!
Our projects provide a supportive and inclusive environment where young people can get accurate, impartial information and guidance on a range of issues important to them. The projects prioritise safety and confidentiality, ensuring young people have a space to express themselves without fear of discrimination.
Typically, the projects include:
At the projects young people can develop new skills, discuss LGBT+ issues, and enjoy fun activities such as music, arts, crafts, creative writing, and cooking.
The projects run every week during term time.
