WHY we need YOU

There is an attack on the transgender community, particularly youth and their families right now in Virginia and all across the US. Your support is crucial so that we can continue to organically expand to bring our vital programming to more neighborhoods and communities. 

YOUR DONATION IS CRUCIAL TO OUR WORK. In addition to helping us host this signature event, your contribution will go directly to support our programming and increase our capacity to do more Education, Support, Advocacy, and Outreach. Thank you for helping HSZ&W:

• Provide 12+ virtual and in person educational support meetings every month for families with gender-diverse loved ones of all ages.

• Provide training for our volunteer facilitators and organizers that provide support directly to the families we serve.

• Provide professional development training to schools, agencies, businesses so they know how to create welcoming environments for transgender and nonbinary youth and adults.

• Organize Family Connections monthly social program for K-12 students and their families in Hampton Roads, Blue Ridge, New River Valley, Hill City, Northern Virginia, and Central Virginia regions.

• Buy books for our lending libraries that every In-person HSZ&W meeting is building to support their attendees.

• Increase our outreach efforts at community events across Virginia.

• Support transgender and nonbinary individuals as guest speakers, sharing their personal experiences with others.
