Finding clothes that feel like you shouldn't be a challenge.

The Pop-Up Closet is a chance to explore new styles, connect with family, and celebrate self-expression. Whether you're searching for something specific or just stopping by, we'd love to see y'all.

Save you a hot dog.

No matter what day you were actually born, we’re celebrating trans joy with a big birthday party this month. Come for cupcakes, party games, goodie bags, and all of the party themes you wanted as a kid.

(Trans Joy Akron became an official nonprofit in August, so it’s our birthday too!)

Friday, August 28, 2026, 6-8 p.m. at the Bayard Rustin LGBTQ+ Resource Center!
