Nevena from Homestretch, Minus18 Formal & LGBT+ communities

Uncategorized

On a jam-packed show, Jordan, Sam and Tabitha chat to Nevena from the incredible organisation, Homestretch, that aims to raise the foster care age from 18 to 21 in Australia. For more information on Homestretch, head to their website: http://thehomestretch.org.au/

Sam was a guest speaker at the Minus18 Youth Formal in Melbourne, so we had a chat to him about his experience there.

Plus, why is it so important for communities to exist? Both the entire LGBTQIA+ community and it’s sub communities, people find comfort in being among like-minded people. Although, is it always a positive thing?

And as always, heaps of music!
