Trans Youth Action Team

The Trans Youth Action Team (TYAT) is designed to encourage youth leadership, offer powerful representations of trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people in our communities, and celebrate trans joy, connection, and our experiences.

This year we are welcoming 8-10 trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive identified high school leaders from Hampshire County to be a part of our team, we’re so excited!

Supported by trans educators and community organizers, TYAT leads training sessions and workshops for schools and community groups, visit student clubs, and provides opportunities for leadership and advocacy in our local community. Get involved with us today!
