Welcome letter 

Welcome! 

I am so happy to see all of you here today. 

This is our second annual Transgender Youth 

Empowerment Workshop. It’s bigger than last 

year in so many ways. We have more sessions to 

choose from, more facilitators, more support 

from some amazing sponsors and we’ve raised 

so much more money which will enable us to do 

more for you. 

Please look at the ads in this program. These are all individuals, 

businesses and organizations who fully support transgender 

individuals. Many of our sponsors are potential employers; these are 

companies who are open and affirming and welcome job applicants 

from the LGBTQ community. 

“The Stand with Trans mission is to provide the tools needed by 

transgender youth so they will be empowered, supported and 

validated as they transition to their authentic life.” 

We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to you! On behalf of my 

family, the Board of Directors and all those who contributed to today’s 

workshop, we wish you an amazing day. 

With love, 

Roz Keith, President and Founder
