My Nonprofit Reviews

Translate Gender joined the non-profit community fairly recently, but they were up and running in no time because many of the services they offer have been on-going for years. Non-profit status has made it possible for them to expand and grow rapidly. From training of allies and advocates in crucial community roles in schools, churches, and elsewhere, to monthly family group meetings of parents and their gender questioning children; from creative arts and cultural programming, to one to one counseling, Translate Gender offers the wider community unique and urgently needed resources. Having attended the monthly family meetings many times over the years, I am always struck by the relief and gratitude voiced by families for a place to share their feelings and struggles and learn from each other. The fact that the organization is trans-led and trans-facilitated allows the children who attend their programs to see people like themselves and imagine possible futures that include respect and appreciation for who they are. As a Board Member it has been my honor and privilege to participate in the exciting expansion of this innovative organization.
