At Collaborate PASadena, we believe that creating inclusive environments for transgender and nonbinary youth is crucial for our community. That's why we're committed to making this workshop series accessible to all who can benefit from it, regardless of their financial situation.

We want to be transparent about the financial aspects of this workshop:

• The full cost of running this workshop series, including expert facilitation, materials, and refreshments, is higher than the suggested ticket prices.
• Collaborate PASadena is fronting these costs and expects to operate this workshop at a financial loss.
• We are not seeking to make a profit, but rather to invest in our community's capacity to support LGBTQI+ youth.

Our sliding scale pricing model and "no one turned away for lack of funds" policy reflect our dedication to this cause. If you're able to pay the suggested price or more, your contribution will help us offset some of the costs and potentially allow others to attend who might not otherwise be able to.

In addition to credit card purchases, we have enabled the invoice option so that we can work out a payment method after registration.
