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 there are 8 incredible trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive identified high school leaders from Hampshire County who are a part of our team!

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!

SCHEDULE A VISIT TO YOUR SCHOOL / GSA!

We’re looking for schools and organizations from across the Western region to visit this year! The TYAT can connect with student groups, educators, and community groups to support conversations, trainings, workshops, panels, and more! Please connect with us if you’d like to bring the TYAT to your community! You can email our team here to schedule a visit!

FUNDING FOR TYAT

The TYAT is funded by a Strategic Planning Initiative for Families and Youth (SPIFFY) Coalition Grant for our inaugural year of our team. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to the work ahead with this incredible crew of youth advocates from across Hampshire County! Learn more about SPIFFY here!
