What is it?

The goal of this summit is for youth 24 and under from Massachusetts/New England that identify with, or could fall under, the label 'transgender' or youth who are in some way connected to the transgender youth community, such as partners/friends, to meet and connect with other transgender and gender variant youth. At the summit, youth will have the opportunity to share ideas, learn about their legal rights, learn about the larger transgender community, participate in workshops and fun activities.

Activities include: Dance, Gender Identity Groups, Exploring Your Voice: A Writing Workshop, Creating Art, Performance and Drag Exploration, Organizing in schools & communities, Health and Legal Information.
