TransActive Gender Project

TransActive Gender Project, located within the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education & Counseling in Portland, Oregon, is a leading resource in providing support, education, and advocacy for gender-diverse youth and their families. Through a dynamic range of services including gender-affirming counseling, community education, and professional training, TransActive is deeply committed to creating inclusive and equitable spaces for youth ages 10 and older who identify as transgender or gender-expansive. The organization offers both in-person and telehealth counseling services, ensuring access to affirming care across Oregon, and provides educational workshops and continuing education opportunities for professionals working with gender-diverse populations.

In addition to direct services, TransActive plays a critical role in supporting systemic change through policy consultation, ally support groups, and mentorship programs for advocates. The organization is recognized for fostering cultural competency within educational institutions, healthcare providers, and community agencies, with training programs that make a lasting impact on equity and inclusion. Families and allies of transgender and gender-expansive youth also benefit from the project’s guidance and support, making it a comprehensive hub for empowerment and care. TransActive continues to lead with compassion and expertise in promoting the well-being of gender-diverse individuals throughout Oregon.
