Community Connections
If you’re a parent of a transgender
individual, or identify as transgender*
and are between the ages of 9-24,
we have community connections for you!
Community Connection Spaces
Community Connections is the home for all of our peer groups.
These spaces are by you, for you, and they exist to help enable you to give and receive the support needed to create healthy, sustainable relationships with folks who truly understand you.
Whether you want to
discuss something difficult, share joy, or just hangout with folks like you,
you’re always welcome here!
We encourage people to sign up for as many meetings as they’d like to–you might see some familiar faces on different nights!
