Every year we table at 8 to 9 Pride events. This year, our services, connection, and visibility are even more important as thousands of our Trans siblings arrive seeking safe community and resources after fleeing from states threatening their existence.

We are a small, mighty team, that needs to grow quickly. Due to a few physical injuries, we just can't do it all. We are seeking help with our Pride booth and events. Our volunteer service opportunities include loading, set up, running shifts at the booth, teardown, and load out. Many hands make light work, and it's the only way we can physically do it this year. This aspect of service to the community is fun, it helps you to connect with community, and makes a real, tangible difference in the face of what is going on around us. Feeling powerless? Seemingly small actions, add up to make a huge difference. Please step up and join us. Now is the time, our community needs us all.

We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love. That’s OK.

You are a beautiful expression of diversity. Bring your unique voice, perspective and passion to our growing organization. Help us be even more of a reflection of the trans, non-binary & gender queer/fluid community!

Our path isn’t always clear, yet we move through the confusion and distraction with the understanding that there is more to myself

How we relate to ourselves and others is central to life.

Trans, gender non-conforming, gender fluid and all who break free of the cultural norms find themselves learning new ways to navigate established relationships and cultivate new ones rooted in a more authentic sense of self
