Volunteers are being sought for the Board of Canterbury’s queer and transgender youth support group, Q-topia. It’s seeking people with a community focus, great ideas and a desire to see the young people of Canterbury thrive. Q-topia has been in operation since 2001 and provides safe spaces for young people questioning or exploring their sexuality or gender. Its groups meet weekly for social activities and support, led by a group of young facilitators. The board members’ role is to set the direction, ensure the effective running of Q-topia and to support the facilitators in their work with young people. It involves attending monthly meetings being involved with subcommittees and helping out with fundraisers and events, several times a year. The AGM is being held on the 12th April.
