Stonewall is launching a new youth
volunteering programme to get young people aged 16-25 involved in
tackling homophobia and homophobic bullying in schools.
The opportunity has been created to be highly valuable for young people
of all sexual orientations. One of the main objects of the programme is

and leadership to all volunteers as part of their training. Press release
