This ongoing course will act a social group for tween (ages 10-12) transgender, nonbinary, and allied individuals. Attendees will discuss pop culture, current interest, hobbies, etc. The instructor will be a facilitator of discussion rather than the lead; however, the instructor will occasionally ask prompting questions if participants are struggling to keep the conversation going. We will also do a virtual activity each week. These activities will include games, skits, etc. Participants will not need any materials to participate in activities. The overall goal of this course is to promote a sense of community among participants! The nature of all discussions will be age appropriate based on the CDC, WHO, and other reliable researched-based studies for child development. In general, this course's format will be identical from week to week. Icebreakers: 5 minutes Discussion of the Week (led by participants): 25 minutes Virtual Activity of the Week: 20 Closing Prompt: 5 minutes

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a nonbinary trans feminine person of color, I have had many opportunities over the years to educate both children and adults about individuals who exist outside of the gender binary as well as issues that the group faces. Over the past 5 years, I have also had the opportunity to serve as a mentor to LGBT+ youth.
As a current educator in the public sector, I have many backgrounds within the education field that range from early childhood development to instructional technology. I also have had the opportunity to work with children from many different backgrounds in a variety of settings.
