Transgender Education and Outreach
Eastern PA Trans Equity Project is committed to educating the public about transgender people, the issues that affect them and how they can become allies to our community.
Celebrating Our Diversity
Our vision is to create communities where differences are celebrated, and all people are valued no matter their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
We offer a number of opportunities for transgender education and outreach where individuals and organizations can learn more through training seminars, speaking engagements, events, policy recommendations, resource guides and more.
If you would like information about engaging us to speak at your school, company or event please contact us.
