Jordan Harel (they/them) – Programme Co-ordinator

Originally from Normandy, France, Jordan has made themselves busy within their local communities wherever they are, whether driving ambulances as an EMT through busy streets in Paris to fostering abandoned cats for the NWSPCA in Mayo, Ireland.

They’ve become a very familiar figure within LGBT+ non-profit organisation OutWest, for which they have served as both Chairperson and Mayo Coordinator as well as their on-going roles in managing website and social media platforms and being a trained tester for Rapid HIV testing among other committee duties. They also oversaw the instalment of OutWest’s LGBT+ Drop-In Centre; the first centre of its kind in Mayo.

They are very happy to contribute their skills and experience now to Ballina 2023, and to be working once again with other individuals in making a positive impact on the community.
