My Nonprofit Reviews

Translate Gender is one of a kind in the way it builds community deeply and in a way that is meant to be sustained. By nature of the organization being led by trans and gender non-conforming people, the organization provides role models for the trans and gender non-conforming youth they serve, for the volunteers, and for their interns. In addition to all the amazing programming they provide, the way that all people involved in the organization, the folks who take part in their programming, the volunteers, and their staff, see role models for themselves, and see people like them who are leaders and who are living happy, successful lives.

The programs Translate Gender provides is absolutely vital, and I am so grateful as an intern to have seen firsthand the impact on youth and families it has. Not only is this organization filling an area of great need in the lives of trans youth and families, they trying to run themselves as ethically and honestly as possible, and hold themselves accountable for how they hold space in the world.
