The Trans Youth Forum is an annual event provided by HiTOPS. This all-day conference includes guest speakers, workshops, and activities where transgender, nonbinary, and otherwise gender-expansive youth are able to connect and learn together. The conference is split into tracks to best serve educators and professionals who work with trans youth, parents, and families of trans youth, and trans youth themselves.

This is the only trans-youth-focused conference in New Jersey and is attended annually by over 150 young people. In 2018, 70 presenters brought their expertise and passion to over 35 separate workshops. More than 30 venders, providing information, services, and health education.

The Trans Youth Forum is hosted by a different high school in New Jersey each year, enabling needed LGBTQ+ resources to reach broadly across the state.
