Project Title: TARR
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Transcending Adolescence (TA) is a Jacksonville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2019, dedicated to helping transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth ages 8 to 17 not only to survive, but to thrive. Our flagship program, the TA Resilience Retreat (TARR), is the only trans-specific sleepaway camp in the South, currently pursuing ACA accreditation that would make it the only accredited trans-specific sleepaway camp in the country. Through our SPEAR curriculum, Support, Physical Recreation, Empowerment, Advocacy, and Reflection, campers build community in a brave space alongside peers, junior staff who are themselves former campers, and adult TGD staff. A Yale University program analysis has confirmed measurable improvements in participants’ mental health outcomes. TGD youth face elevated rates of isolation, family rejection, and mental health crisis, and cost remains a real barrier for many of the families who most need TA’s programming. This request would fund campership scholarships, ensuring that economic hardship never prevents a young person from attending TARR. In 2026, TA served 24 registered campers with a projected total of 30 or more, supported by 8 junior staff, all former campers who have grown into TA’s next generation of leadership. With Hermanowski Family Foundation support, TA anticipates increased access to TARR for families facing financial hardship; measurable gains in campers’ sense of belonging, self-confidence, and reduced isolation; and continued strength of TA’s junior staff pipeline. Ensuring no financial barrier stands between a TGD young person and TARR is central to TA’s founding mission.<\/p>\n
