We are getting very excited for next weekend's kootéeyaa ceremony at Twin Lakes, but we need some help from you all with the final preparations! Tomorrow night Friday September 23 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM we are inviting folks to Zach Gordon Youth Center to help put finishing touches on the giveaway gift teas and medicines that a bunch of wonderful volunteers/artisans have been been working on for the event since last year. Food will be provided, and this will be a family-friendly event. Contact
[email protected] if you have any questions. Hope to see you there!
Explore the highly pigmented, fluid medium of alcohol inks in an introductory lesson with Chromatic Crystal for this one-time, abstract painting event! We strongly advise you to wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained with inks. No experience required, and we’ll supply the materials. You’ll have your own (mostly dried) masterpiece to take with you by the end of the event! All you have to do is come, paint, and have fun! NAMI Juneau Zach Gordon Youth Center

Gunalchéesh to everyone who donated to our GoFundMe to raise funds for our gender-affirming items scholarship- we met our goal today!!
A special thank you to SEAGLA, 's Floral Studio, and Bauer Clifton Interiors for your $500 contributions- your impact is great and so appreciated.
And also a special thank you to every single person who donated or shared this campaign, together as a community, when we give what we can, we can create beautiful and powerful things. Every dollar donated will be used to purchase gender-affirming items for local youth. Trans and gender-diverse youth are precious members of our community, and they deserve to have access to what they need to be safe and comfortable in their bodies.
If you are a young person in need of a gender-affirming item, reach out to Gordon Youth Center or the Teen Health Center and staff there will help you get what you need.
From the bottom of our hearts, gunalchéesh, without you this would not be possible.
Our friends at the Zach Gordon Youth Center and NAMI Juneau, along with Margie Weaver Thomson are hosting a webinar TONIGHT for adults who want to support the trans and gender diverse youths in their lives.
We're so thankful for all of the people involved in making events like these happen. Please join them, and spread the word!
One of the weekly themes for Zach Gordon Youth Center's summer camp this year was ‘Art in the Park.’ So we borrowed a few pieces of their art and put them in the park! You can see them along the Seawalk at Overstreet Park. Take advantage of this beautiful weather to enjoy the cutest little art show along the water! They will be on display through the end of the month.
Did you see the great article from KTOO about the new guide for transgender youth put together by NAMI Juneau and Zach Gordon Youth Center? It's a cute little 'zine that helps kids understand school anti-discrimination policies and how they can advocate for themselves when needed. We've got the link to the article here:

https://www.namijuneau.org/lgbtq2 for a digital version of the guide and more great resources.
Join us TODAY, 8/17 from 3 - 4:30PM for our monthly coalition meeting. We will be talking about our event schedule for Su***de Prevention Awareness Month(September) and will highlight the Trans Student Self-Advocacy Workshop recently hosted by NAMI Juneau and Zach Gordon Youth Center. We will also learn about the upcoming Supportive Adults of Trans Students Webinar and other LGBTQ+ resources. A big shout-out to all of those involved in making this happen - This is how we live up to our vision of creating a community where all individuals have a sense of belonging, connectedness to others, and value their lives!
