Open to queer folks of any faith or no faith.
For anyone who is learning ASL, this is a chance to practice together. RJ (Deaf board member at KCCI) will lead us in a quick review or lesson, and then we typically break into small conversation groups, or play a game. Voices are off so we can be completely immersed in the language. Deaf, HOH, and hearing folks are welcome. LGBTQ+ led and focused, but allies are welcome too. We usually order pizza, and suggested donations between $5-10 are appreciated. Free to attend!
Members of the Mimics Society gather throughout the year to play tabletop roleplaying games. Beginners are welcome to join! Rather than a drop in style game, however, participants sign up in advance for seasons lasting between 4-8 weeks. Look for signups by following us on social media, or get added to the email list for next time by sending a note to mimics@inclusivekc.org
We have a small, year round clothing closet available to anyone in the community who needs it. We try to keep clothing in many sizes and for many different gender expressions. We are only able to store enough for a few outfits, and try to keep items that are suitable for the season. We currently have shoes, underwear, assorted toiletries, and a small selection of gender affirming garments such as binders and gaffs. We are only accepting new underwear and socks in the packaging, or new/gently used and clean gender affirming shapewear. We can also take a small number of new toiletries such as soaps and makeup. Email info@inclusivekc.org to confirm that we are able to take your donation.
Kansas City Center for Inclusion is proud to offer the third annual Gender Affirmation Project series of microgrants.
KCCI's Gender Affirmation Project is intended to help trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and gender diverse (TGNC) folks in need. Our goal is to provide trans people (18+) within the Kansas City metro financial assistance towards gender affirming surgeries or associated costs by way of a $1,000 microgrant. Your support of KCCI helps this program succeed, and in 2023 we are planning a benefit event to grow our budget for this program, enabling us to help additional trans people with needed support.
We are grateful to all of you who continue to donate your new and gently used binders to the community! We are also happy to offer several new binders in sizes from 5XL-XXS from GC2B. We are working to expand our offerings in partnership with additional companies. Look for trans-feminine items coming soon!
Binders are free, but you must sign up using the following link:
