Saving lives through community

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

When someone joins the Parents of Trans Youth Community, it’s more than a membership in some club.

It’s literally saving lives.

More parent and caregiver support means less depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts for transgender and gender-expansive young people.

And now more than ever, families need a trusted community to help navigate challenges and learn how to give that support to their kids.

The Share the Magic campaign makes sure that a safe community space is available to all parents - by funding scholarships to the Parents of Trans Youth Community (PTYC).

There’s a membership fee to cover costs, AND we offer scholarships to anyone who asks.

We're 5 days in and already at 83% of our goal. The campaign ends on April 27; $9K in 9 days - we can do this!

Give to Share the Magic!
