Visible & Vital: Protecting Transgender and Non-Binary Youth

Join Youth Communication on November 15, 2024 at 1:00 PM for their Visible and Vital Webinar. According to the 2019 National School Climate Survey, 84% of trans students felt unsafe at school because of their gender. Compounded with issues of racism, transgender youth of color are more likely to be subjected to racial discrimination than their cisgender peers. This webinar will highlight a true, teen-written story about being a young trans person and foster discussion on how to create a healthy environment for trans and non-binary students to thrive. The session will define key terms like cisgender, transgender, gender queer, and nonbinary, as well the impact racism has on education and a student’s sense of belonging. Participants will leave the session with a deeper understanding of trans and non-binary students and actionable steps they can take to support them. Register via Zoom to save your spot.
