Transgender Programs and Services
The Transgender Program at The Center provides support and resources to the Colorado transgender community. Our support groups, events, and activities allow individuals to talk to each other in a safe and affirming environment. We work closely with other transgender organizations to provide the most current and accurate information and resources available to those who are questioning or who identify as transgender. The Center’s Legal & Advocacy Program also works with transgender individuals who feel they have been discriminated against.
