Trans & Gender Expansive Programs
At OBC we serve transgender, gender expansive, and questioning adults and youth ages 13+ in Boulder County and surrounding areas. We have focused intently on creating specific programming to address the unique issues of the trans and gender-expansive community. Learn more about our adult trans program below and about our youth program here.
We have bus passes available for folks who need assistance with transportation to get to and from our transgender programming. If you need support with this, please reach out to Lucinnia Majik (she/her), lmajik@outboulder.org.

Gender Support groups are open to anyone who has a gender expansive identity including transgender, genderqueer, gender fluid, agender, non-binary, and intersex people. We also support people who are questioning their identity and people who don't want to label themselves yet (or at all).
Attending the group is free and we have trained, dedicated transgender facilitators. All we ask is that you fill out a quick survey when you first come and follow our Support Group Agreements.
For individuals who are ages 18+ only.
Boulder County Gender Support (BCGS) is seeking new facilitators!
Boulder County Gender Support (BCGS) is one of the longest-standing programs at Out Boulder County (OBC). This group offers peer-support for transgender and gender expansive identities including transgender, genderqueer, gender fluid, agender, non-binary, and intersex people; those who are questioning their gender are also invited to attend. Peer-support groups serve as a source of understanding, strength, and reflection for many community members, but they are not therapy. Groups are facilitated by a minimum of two facilitators per meeting. Facilitators must complete annual Facilitation and Diversity & Inclusion trainings, arranged by OBC.
Thanks to funding from Boulder County and the City of Boulder, OBC is now able to pay facilitators a stipend for their time and efforts. We deeply appreciate the invaluable contributions of our volunteer facilitators over the many years, and are happy to finally be able to support facilitator sustainability with pay. If you identify under the trans and gender-expansive umbrella(s) and are interested in joining the facilitator team, please review the Job Description and complete the BCGS Facilitator Application.
For questions, please email Lucinnia Majik (she/her), lmajik@outboulder.org.

The SOFFA Support Group is a drop-in style group for people in relationship (romantic, friendly, familial, co-working, etc.) with transgender and gender expansive people. While the support group is not a therapy process group, it may be therapeutic. Each group member will have an opportunity to share, connect with others, and explore their relationships with transgender and gender expansive people. The trained group facilitators create space to acknowledge and meet each member as they are while also providing evidence-based knowledge about transgender and gender expansive people that promote mental health for all.
