The Gender Generations Project empowers trans, two-spirit, non-binary, and other gender diverse youth to recognize their potential as leaders in their own communities throughout British Columbia, and the rest of the world. We foster connections between the youth and adult mentors with shared or similar gender identities and backgrounds who can support and inspire them to joyfully live their truths in spite of adversity. The GGP also provides support, resources, and programming for parents, caregivers, siblings, and allies.
