Transgender Program
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Pride Center of Vermont’s Transgender Program facilitates community development for transgender, intersex, and gender non-conforming Vermonters to celebrate diverse gender identities and expressions. We strive to make visible and foster respect for gender variation, by promoting awareness, advocating for and with the transgender, intersex, and gender non conforming community, creating support networks, encouraging opportunities for creative expression and inquiry of gender issues, and cultivating a welcoming community for all.

Family, Parents, Friends, & Allies of Transgender Adults: As our name suggests, we are people with adult loved ones who are transgender or gender-nonconforming.
