Refuge is an 18+ peer-led Transgender/Nonbinary/Gender Expansive support group that meets every Sunday from 3 PM to 5 PM. We are a safe space to be an authentic version of yourself, especially if you are in the process of figuring that out.

We meet at GLO Center, 518 E. Commercial. You are welcome to join us in person or online.

If you would like to join us online, you can email Refuge@glocenter.org to get the link to join us through Google Meet.
