Bloom is a student-led community program that centers queer and trans students at UNC Charlotte. Students that attend will be able to form meaningful relationships with peers, gain a better understanding of what it means to be your “authentic self,” and empower themselves and the community. Bloom participants will accomplish these goals through intentional dialogues, identity development, and interactive education. The program will also host a variety of events that uplift queer and trans folk while also providing educational opportunities.
