Base Camp aGender is a monthly drop-in space for trans and gender diverse young people who are experiencing homelessness and disconnect from family. It’s a place to be with peers and be themselves in a safe and supportive space.

Base Camp aGender is run by trans and gender diverse peers who are experienced and qualified support workers. We aim to support trans and gender diverse young people’s safety, wellbeing, resilience and connectedness to communities and homelessness services.
