TransGiving 4: Trans Youth Support Network

December 12, 2013 ·

For the 4th Day of TransGiving, the TransAdvocate has picked The Trans Youth Support Network (TYSN)!  TYSN is a partnership of youth and community members who work together to support trans youth in Minnesota. TYSN empowers trans youth to address issues affecting their quality of life and we think that’s awesome!

TransYouthSupportNetwork

TYSN’s mission is to promote racial, social, and economic justice for trans youth, with the freedom to self-define gender identity and expression. TYSN hosts activities and support meetings that help trans youth overcome transphobia and develop their leadership talents.
