Gender Diversity increases the awareness and understanding of the normal range of gender variations in children, adolescents, and adults by providing family support, building community, increasing community awareness, and improving the well-being for people of all gender identities and expressions.

Gender Diversity provides support and resources to both transgender individuals and to families raising transgender and gender non-conforming children. Through our support groups, referral services, and community building conferences and events, we provide the tools needed to engage in healthy decision-making with respect to gender identity and overall well-being. Gender Diversity promotes a culture of acceptance and understanding by offering a wide array of professional and educational opportunities resulting in a broader network of support for the gender non-conforming communities.
