Finding personal support early on in our transitions is not easy. We are full of questions, and many times turning to online support is the only way we can find answers. Finding someone locally willing to be a friend and mentor through the process of transitioning proves nearly impossible for some.

The Mentors Program brings the trans community together on a personal level.

There’s a trans-identified person in your community who can really benefit from your advice, guidance, and knowledge of the trans community, world and life. It takes just a few hours a month to be a mentor. Let a trans-identified person know you care. Help them realize that doors can be opened, to see that opportunities are not just for others and demonstrate that there is a place for each person in our community. When you give to another person, you help them learn the joys of giving back!
