UPCOMING: YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROJECT (YEP!)
TransPonder is proud to announce a sneak peek of our upcoming Youth Empowerment Project (YEP!) – a pilot initiative designed to empower LGBTQ2+ youth with essential skills in leadership, advocacy, mentorship, and community building.
This pilot project is currently available for High School youth who wish to learn how to advocate for themselves, practice educational justice, and address systemic inequities. The pilot includes 6 leadership modules and 2 community engagement opportunities.
We will provide workshops, optional board meetings, and advocacy sessions with educational leaders. Mentorship provided, and peer support is available. Our services are free!
Please use the buttons below to complete our interest form, or reach out directly to Melrose, our Youth Program Manager.
