EMPOWERING LGBTQIA+ YOUNG ADULTS
BLOSSOM LGBT
Since our inception in 2019, we've been supporting the amazing things that LGBTQIA+ young adults can achieve when they are empowered to succeed without the fear of discrimination. It's our vision that by working together, we’ll create environments where LGBTQIA+ young adults can succeed in all aspects of their social and professional lives.
Our Story
Our ambition today remains as strong as day one, with a committed team of paid staff & volunteers from within the queer community who work with LGBTQIA+ young adults across the country to support them in the world of work. We’re passionate about being leaders in meeting the needs of LGBTQIA+ young adults.
Before working with Blossom LGBT our members tell us that they felt directionless, isolated, and shut out. We empower them to blossom… into authentic & confident people through our uplifting & positive approach to LGBTQIA+ advocacy. This allows our members to navigate barriers and supports them to build stable careers, meaningful relationships, and pride in who they are.
