Supporting Electrologists-in-Training
Beginning in 2026, we are partnering with eleQTrospot and the Stonewall Foundation of Greater Sacramento to provide financial support, mentorship, and small business development opportunities for community members pursuing licensure in electrology (permanent hair removal services).
The Gender Health Center is also raising funds to cover the remaining costs of training and licensure. If you’d like to support this program, you can donate here: https://givebutter.com/ElectrolysisProgram
In the coming months, we’ll release a grant application for persons interested in being a part of this program.

Highlighting Trans Joy
On June 6th, 2025 we showcased 6 young community artists! Through powerful expressions of art and storytelling, the showcase uplifted the voices and lived experiences of trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse young people. By centering their truths, the event sparked deeper compassion, challenged harmful norms, and inspired community and healthcare spaces rooted in support, empowerment, and love.
Thank you to our inaugural TAP participants!
