Fall 2023 Afterschool Programming


In October 2023 Trans formative Schools will launch a free Afterschool that centers trans joy and social justice.
Open to all, it is designed to address the unmet needs of trans, queer, nonbinary, and gender expansive middle school students.
The program will provide a community co-constructed by trans students and trans teachers that focuses on fun, learning, enrichment, social-emotional learning, community building, student-led activism, identity exploration.
Who:
All youth ages 9 – 15 in New York State
Time:
2:30 to 5:30 PM Monday to Thursday
-
Mondays & Wednesdays: In-person at NYC Heritage of Pride at
154 Christopher St in the West Village
-
Tuesdays & Thursdays: Remote on Zoom
Schedule:
While the program runs from 2:30 – 5:30, TfS recognizes that students' schedules differ.
The beginning of each afternoon is drop-in community time from 2:30-3:15. All youth are always welcome to come find community, share space, and have a snack. Classes are structured time and will occur from 3:15-4:15 and 4:15-5:15. Students may attend either a 3:15 class, a 4:15 class, or classes at both times.
To allow students to make an informed choice of classes, the first two weeks will be focused on community building and class exploration.
Towards the end of those two weeks, TfS will release the final schedule (based upon student interest and availability). Students will then be asked to commit to a class (or classes) for the rest of the semester to enable the building and deepening of our learning communities.
Application Deadline:
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
