ABOUT US

Minus18 is Australia’s charity improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth. We support LGBTQIA+ young people through events and digital platforms, and provide fee for service LGBTQIA+ inclusion training to schools, businesses and community organisations. Since 2011 over 100,000 young people have engaged in these services across Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, and millions more via digital platforms.

ABOUT THIS POSITION

The LGBTQIA+ Education Presenters at Minus18 drive inclusion within the broader community, delivering LGBTQIA+ education workshops and training that are a mix of facilitation, presentation and improvisation. In this role, you’ll be delivering sessions to a variety of audiences, including students, teachers, youth groups, community organisations and corporate environments, making LGBTQIA+ inclusion accessible to everyone in a positive, nonjudgmental space. Some of our recent audiences have included Bonds, Levis, Canva & the National Theatre Melbourne.

Our Workshops have been described as “participating in your favourite podcast”, so even though they are pre-scripted, you’ll think on your feet, react to the audience’s participation and navigate questions with patience and positivity. We’ll also coach you to write and share your personal narrative on LGBTQIA+ identity with openness and vulnerability, inspiring others to connect with the real-world application of the Content.

These sessions are 30 minutes to 3 hours long, delivered digitally via Zoom, and also in-person. They include content such as:

• Introduction to LGBTQIA+ Inclusion
• Supporting Trans & Gender Diverse People
• LGBTQIA+ Alyship
• Campaign Keynote Delivery
