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.
