For middle schoolers, the Rite-13 program assists young people as they take the first steps of passage away from their families and into their own lives. During these two years, the community acknowledges the gift of gender, celebrates the amazing creative power and potential of these young people, and creates a safe haven to explore new ideas, new interests and new abilities.
