Families Igniting Resources & Education For Liberated Youth.

We are FIREFLY -- Families Igniting Resources and Education For Liberated Youth.

We are a community of trans, non-binary and allied youth, families, providers, and organizers dedicated to creating an inclusive space for connection, education, and mutual aid. Our mission is to envision and build a more liberated world for trans and gender-diverse youth--one that ensures access to affirming healthcare, legal advocacy, family and youth empowerment, and community connection. We came together for our inaugural weekend family conference to foster growth, learning, and celebration for families at every stage of their journey.
