    Empowering Central Ohio’s Trans Youth

    A national survey by the Gay, Lesbian, & Straight Education Network found that 75 percent of transgender youth feel unsafe at school. The need for a program like Genderscope, at Kaleidoscope Youth Center, is imperative, as many of these youths face daily struggles.

    “Michael attends Genderscope for trans and gender-nonconforming youth every Tuesday evening where he receives complete acceptance, understanding, and love. It’s his safe place… I can say without a doubt that my son’s life has been saved by KYC…”  ” — Robin Boggs, Parent of a Genderscope Youth.

    In the summer of 2017, Genderscope expanded from one to two nights a week due to the increase in attendance and the desire to reach as many youth as possible. KYC also recently hired a fulltime Trans Outreach Coordinator. 

    This Better Together project will provide necessary funding to Genderscope so that more youth who are seeking guidance and resources will be served.
