Details:
This is a group for 12-18-year-old trans*people, people questioning their own gender, and aspiring allies. We provide an adult facilitated space to discuss gender, relevant resources, and activism around social issues. Whether silently or aloud, please come ready to consider your own gender in a transient world. The group meets virtually only on the first Monday of each month and meets in-person on the 3rd Monday of each month at Charis books and More. If you have questions about the group please email info@chariscircle.org.

This group is co-facilitated by:
Mr. Jesse McNulty, Sr., M.Ed., co-founder/co-facilitator of Trans and Friends, is a 25 year veteran teacher of at-opportunity youth in metro-Atlanta area; elementary, middle, and high school. He holds a Master's of Education in Special Education- Behavioral Disorders; with add-ons in Interrelated and Gifted. Known as Sir Jesse [SJ] among progressive communities, he is an advocate for LGBTQQIA+ and queerly situated youth. He is a co-founder of the Georgia Safe Schools Coalition, one of the Feminist Outlawz, and a U.S. Army veteran. SJ identifies as an anti-racist and an aspiring ally striving to be a part of a more beloved community in this transient world!
Dante DeStefano is one of the original co-founders of Trans & Friends. Since 2003, he has been an advocate for the queer community, especially transgender & gender-expansive youth. As a trans teenager in the early 2000’s, Dante sought to fill a niche for trans youth seeking support and community like himself at a time when there wasn’t anything else like it in the greater Atlanta area. As co-facilitator, he is thrilled that T&F has continued to provide support for young people, wherever they are navigating and exploring on their gender journey. Dante is a visual artist and horticulturist.
