MTPC: Youth Committee

MTPC YOUTH COMMITTEE

The MTPC Youth Committee is compromised of transgender, gendernonconforming and allied youth under 24. We meet monthly and provide a place for transgender youth to connect with the wider trans community. We also host events such as the Transgender Youth Summit, and we are starting a trans youth speaker's bureau. If you would like to get involved, please email youth 'at' masstpc.org.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!

What is it?

An opportunity for transgender, gender queer, gender variant youth to come together, share ideas, learn about their legal rights, and discover new ways to become more active in organizing.

The first half of the day will be interactive presentations on legal rights, health, and civic activism and the second half of the day will be fun activities including, art, writing, and socializing. The goal of this summit is for trans youth to meet and connect with other trans youth across the state.
