Discussion group for trans, non-binary
and questioning youth
TransEstrie holds a bi-monthly discussion group for young trans, non-binary and questioning people. This group is for people who are questioning their gender identity as well as those who have come out or are transitioning. It’s a space to meet other people who have similar experiences in order to exchange on different topics, related or not to transness.
The group is open to all trans, non-binary and questioning youth aged 12-17.
Please note that 12 and 13 year olds need a signed parental consent form to participate in the group.
Meetings are held in person at our office (69 Wellington Street North, Sherbrooke).
Meetings are held one Wednesday and one Thursday per month, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.
If you have any questions about the discussion groups or any other event, you can contact services@transestrie.org.

Monthly activities
At least once a month, we offer a social activity for trans and non-binary people in the Eastern Townships. Lead by one of our team members, these activities aim to break isolation in a less structured setting than our discussion groups.
Some examples of activities: movie nights, picnics, board games, etc.
Do you have an idea for an activity? Let us know!
For exact dates and to know this month’s activities, check our event calendar.
