Wrapping Up

Wow, what a great weekend! The Gender Identity Center had the privilege of representing at HartCore's kickball tournament on Saturday and our makeshift team had a blast! If they had been giving trophies, we would have definitely been awarded Most Improved and Most Fun. Yesterday, a few of our wonderful volunteers, Karen, and Krista surprised the interns who will be leaving soon with pizza and cake. I was so touched by this kind gesture. Today I am still sore and sunburned, and tidying up from the impromptu pizza party, but I couldn't be happier to be part of an organization that has given me and so many others so much. My last day at the Gender Identity Center will be next Wednesday, but I can assure you that you haven't seen the last of me! This place has been like a second home this year and I just want to thank everyone who has welcomed me with open arms and taught me so much.

Feel free to stop in for some leftover pizza and cake before I eat it all...nom nom nom so tasty!

Weekend Festivities

Is everyone else enjoying the sunshine this week? I know I am! I'm planning to spend my weekend by going to a Rockies game tonight and soaking up the good weather. I hope you all take some time to enjoy the weekend as well.

So many activities!!!

The Gender Identity Center of Colorado has several fun activities and volunteer opportunities coming up. The clothing swap is this Saturday, May 18th 1-4 PM at the Gender Identity Center. This free event is an opportunity to trade in what you no longer wear and find some spiffy new duds.

The People's Fair is also coming up June 1st and 2nd. We need volunteers to spread the word about who we are and the wonderful work that we do. To sign up please visit:  http://gicvolunteer.pleasebringit.com/public/1TRXdDX0SJo.

Slutwalk is also coming up. Come on out and represent the Gender Identity Center Saturday July 6th at 12 PM at Civic Center Park.

The Mentorship Program is up and running. If you are interested in participating as a mentor or a mentee, please visit our website www.gicofcolo.org and sign up under the mentor program tab. I look forward to hearing from you.

My last day with the Gender Identity Center is June 7th, this is definitely bittersweet. I am excited to move towards finishing up my degree, but have gotten so much out of being part of the Gender Identity Center. Thank you so much for your kindness, amazing conversations and the opportunity to grow as a professional.  I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing organization.

Change!

Hello Everyone!
I am both saddened and excited about the great deal of change that is coming our way soon! As the seasons turn there are many changes ahead for the Gender Identity Center of Colorado. We are saying goodbye to some wonderful interns and welcoming new faces to our wonderful organization. The future of the Gender Identity Center is certain to bright and filled with new helpers, new ideas, new groups, and new ways to help and support others.  As my time as an intern at the Gender Identity Center comes to an end, I am grateful for such a enjoyable learning experience!

Clothing Swap

I'm excited to announce that the Gender Identity Center will be having a clothing swap next Saturday (5/18) from 1-4pm. This means you can stop by, look through our clothing collection, and take whatever you like for FREE! Hope to see you there!

Thanks!

My thanks go out to everyone who helped make the spring edition of the Trans* in Prison Journal happen!  All 600-something journals were mailed out this week!  Now who wants to help me do it all again in July..?

Excited!!!

I am so excited to be graduating with my masters this Friday! It has been a lot of work, but I feel like I have learned so much. My experience at the Gender Identity Center has helped me to learn and grow as a counselor and I am grateful to have been a part of such a great team!
