What clients say:

"Thank you so much for holding this clinic. I've been wanting to change my name and gender for years, but because of my [sic] I've never been able to get much done. I'm so grateful to the school, the students, and this program."

"It was wonderful to have this service available to us! Hats off to all of the volunteers!"
