Washington, DC –   Last week, 20 of the District's brightest Transgender Citizens eagerly embarked upon a four week journey to change their lives.

Soldiering on, undeterred by the hate crimes and discrimination which continue to ravage their community, they have enrolled in the District's, Department of Employment Services' Project Empowerment Program, an initiative which is a directive of Mayor Vincent C. Gray.

The original Project Empowerment Program had previously found great success among the Welfare to Work and Returning Citizens populations.  This Project Empowerment Program, a cohort of the original, targets Transgender Citizens for job training and placement.
