You are invited to join us on Transpositive PDX this Tuesday, October 4 at 6pm on KBOO Community Radio 90.7 FM as we talk with Bryant Campbell and Kelly Okili of the Oregon Youth Authority. We will talk about youth with gender identity concerns in the Oregon Youth Authority and what we need to know about them. We will also discuss what to do if someone wants to be a foster parent to a youth with gender identity concerns and what are some things they might want to think about to help that youth thrive.
The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) is seeking nurturing foster homes for transgender youth that can provide stability, structure and supervision, and who can support the youth around their gender identity needs. The Oregon Youth Authority provides training and support for people who wish to support and nurture transgender youth.
Transpositive PDX is a new program exploring the vibrant activism going on in Portland reflecting the Transgender, Two Spirit, Non Binary and Gender Non-Conforming Community, through the strength of our vibrant and diverse Trans and Gender Queer communities.
Transpositive PDX connects listeners with the ongoing activism, arts, culture, and dialogue happening in Portland and beyond. Transpositive PDX is especially concerned about the underrepresented voices of Trans People of Color, Homeless Youth, and the most vulnerable in our communities. Make your voice heard!
Transpositive PDX is open to new and experienced programmers, guests and events you want our community to know about.
