Advocacy and Education
For families of Trans, Gender Non-Conforming, and Neurodiverse youth, we recognize the challenges associated with navigating school systems, name changes, harmful legislation, and understanding workplace rights. Concurrently, we recognize the severe economic disparities and exploitations happening daily to Indigenous communities nationwide. Our goal is to spread awareness and uplift communities through advocacy and sustainable education.
The Prideful Path Project is proud to offer families and community organizations workshops and guidance on various crucial topics, including age-appropriate advocacy, safe relationships, DEI, gender-affirming haircare, and how to better serve the needs of LGBTQIA+/Neurodiverse youth and families, Indigenous communities, and marginalized individuals.

Sacred Pride
Sacred Pride is a groundbreaking initiative under the Prideful Path Project dedicated to the preservation and celebration of Indigenous culture. Sacred Pride aims to honor the rich traditions, stories, and wisdom of Indigenous communities while focusing on the current oppressions which have deeply affected all populations. Our overarching goal is to assist Indigenous communities with land repatriation, the promotion and elevation of Indigenous businesses, advocating for the rights of two-spirit individuals, and increasing awareness regarding the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women, children, and two-spirit individuals.
