We are planning for a big weekend retreat in Fall 2026. However, in the first part of 2026 we had 6 ‘mini-retreats’ on the 2nd Saturday of the month, from January – June.

Through the Summer 2026 we will be holding some one-off workshops and events. The first of these will be the Trans Youth Textile Circle on Wednesday, July 22nd from 4-5:30pm. For more details, see the application form:

We will also be launching a weekly Trans Coworking Space, which will happen Tuesdays over Zoom (online) from 6:30-8:00pm, starting June 30, 2026. Open to Trans, 2-spirit, Non-binary, and gender diverse youth (grade 6 and up) living on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and in remote communities.

This series space is intended to be a casual online drop-in space for trans, 2-spirit, non-binary, and gender diverse youth to chat, cowork, and body double. Come for any amount of time and work on your own project (clean your room, write an email, work on a creative project, work on homework, read a book, play a game, etc.)

Body doubling is a strategy used by neurodivergent community to work or complete tasks alongside another person who is also working on their own tasks. Many people find having another person in the same space who is also working on their own tasks increases focus, motivation, regulation, and allows you to be in community and socialize in different ways.

MENTORS

Mentors support GGP in various ways, including leading or supporting workshops and supporting participants individually or in small groups. A mentor will also be helping with settling youth and creating a comfortable space for them to connect with others throughout the retreat.

**At this time, we are only looking for returning mentors. There will be an intake for new mentors before the retreat in Fall 2026.

In the meantime, check out and register for our Mentor Skill-Building Series. Starting on July 6th over Zoom (online) from 6:30-8:30pm we will kick off a series of events meant to equip GGP mentors (past, present, and future), volunteers, caregivers, and older youth in our network to support trans, Two Spirit, non-binary, and gender diverse kids and youth at GGP events and beyond.

VOLUNTEERS

We need volunteers to support with fundraising! If you have any ideas, from a bake sale, employer/union donations, food donations we’d love to support you in bringing them to life. We would also greatly appreciate volunteer support to create a fundraising team. If you or anyone you know are interested in being part of this team, please let us know. This will help us be able to have more robust programming in 2026. 😀

Let us know that you’re interested
