Sam & Devorah Foundation’s Trans Mentor Project is our first-of-its-kind national e-mentoring program. Its mission is to provide trans and nonbinary folks with supportive, identity-affirming mentors who will empower them to meet their personal goals and thrive. The program pairs transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) youth, ages 13-24, with TGNB mentors for one-to-one video meetups that take place on a secure, monitored online platform.

Because there are limited resources available to trans and nonbinary youth, Trans Mentor Project offers the unique ability for folks across the country to connect with adult mentors with whom they can identify without the limitations of geographic proximity. The virtual aspect also offers the ability to maintain social connections during the present time of physical distancing. Our goal is to connect as many trans youth with mentors as possible throughout the country. We are committed to serving a diverse group of mentees and mentors.
