This weekly gathering invites transgender and gender expansive youth (ages 11-20) into a safe space. Facilitated with a focus on mental health, these conversations are wide-ranging and often address issues facing youth in their daily lives. Attending youth have the opportunity to meet and build connections with other young folks with similar experiences; feedback from attendees often reflects the necessity of understanding that gender nonconforming youth are not alone, and are valid and precious exactly as they are. TransYou is offered in partnership with the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland. Gender+ Playgroups: 30 youth served. playgroups offer kids the opportunity to play, engage, cooperate, and create in a safe and affirming space with other kids who share their experiences. During playgroups, parents and family members can gather in a separate space to share support and information. Dungeons and Dragons: 8 youth served. Because play is a primary way that youth connect, collaborate, engage, and learn, we offer a Dungeons & Dragons night for LGBTQ+ youth ages 11-19 every week and a half, alternating Saturdays and Tuesdays. This activity builds strong social support, builds self-confidence, allows youth to explore their identity safely, and allows participants to express their creativity, problem-solving, and decision-making in real time. 0 0 0 58309 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 OH X X X Kristen Pepera 3302040457 21430 Lorain Rd Ste 400 Fairview Park OH 44126 Lisa Pepera Deputy Director 40 0 X 40032 0 0 Kristen Pepera Executive Director 60 X 40032 0 0 Ryan Smarsh Secretary 0.50 X 0 0 0 Skylar Brown Treasurer 3 X 0 0 0 Mary Plank Board Member 0.10 X 0 0 0 Henry Ng Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Chase Morgan-Swaney Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Ana Velez Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Caitlin Cecil Sykes Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Evie DuVernay Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Le'Priya White Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Joyce Benjamin Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Colleen Mangan-Cronin Board Member 5 X 0 0 0 Peter Finnerty President 0 X 0 0 0 Shannon Scott-Miller Community Engagement Coordinator 40.00 0 X 0 0 0 80064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9660 0 0 203910 26084 213570 TransYou Training 813319 57660 57660 0 0 0 0 0 0 57660 0 0 0 0 57660 9660 0 57660 57660 0 0 328890 57660 57660 0 80064 24019 48039 8006 32221 9666 19333 3222 27400 8220 16440 2740 0 1260 378 756 126 7199 7199 792 238 475 79 3626 1088 2175 363 19447 5834 11668 1945 900 270 540 90 4658 1397 2795 466 177567 58309 102221 17037 127538 212699 18400 2484 6148 130022 237247 0 13562 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13562 X 130022 223685 0 0 130022 223685 130022 237247 X 151323 0 0 0 0 -57660 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 504 19642 10129 121159 271230 422664 12900 12900 72 4311 7079 14333 25795 576 23953 17208 148392 271230 461359 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6850 6850 0 0 0 6850 0 6850 454509 576 23953 17208 148392 271230 461359 0.98515 0.97 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Various 57660 0 57660 0 0 0 0 58309 0 0 0 57660 0 57660 0 0 0 0 58309 0 58309 -649 Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Connections Drop-In: 57 youth served.
