TYMP
The 519

The Trans Youth Mentorship Program is an initiative of the 519 that provides personal and professional development for youth in the trans communities through 6 month session focused on knowledge and skill building as well as working on community engagements events. Participants work together to build their confidence and determination to overcome system barrier to employment, education, and success.

TYMPs involvement with the Trans Workforce came about when we were planning on creating our own trans job fair and then heard about Biko’s attempts and contacted her to work with her. We were happy to pool our efforts and resources together to make an job fair worth remembering for our community.
