November’s event will have a craft table provided by the Nelson Atkins, hot cocoa, and, as always, a resource table full of free supplies.
Trans Joy in the Park is the event that started it all. It is a space for transgender folks of all ages, backgrounds, and interests to get together as a community. Let's get together and nurture our joy to persist through all circumstances!
We will be at our cold weather location - the cafe room inside of OurSpot’s Navigation Center!
No RSVP is required. Simply show up and say hi!
