Self-Paced Online Training for Individuals
Foundations for Trans Inclusion: Part 1
This training provides the foundational language and concepts needed to deepen your understanding of trans and nonbinary communities. Many people have good intentions about trans inclusion, but of course, we know that good intentions are not enough -- we also need knowledge, skills, and practice, as well as policy and structural innovations to move beyond inclusion to real equity and gender justice. This course is structured for individuals; organizations can click the link below for options.
Courses are self-paced, online training opportunities. Individuals can register for their own personal learning, and organizations can use them to supplement live training and consulting services.

Why is this important?
The past few years have seen increasing acceptance of trans and nonbinary identities, along with escalating backlash in the form of anti-trans rhetoric, legislation, and misinformation. Trans community members continue to face intense stigma, violence, and barriers to participation.
