We welcome participation from all community members, including allies, who are committed to working for the economic wellbeing of transgender and gender-nonconforming communities. We especially encourage individuals to participate who have expertise in areas of relevance to our work, such as workforce development, employment law and policy, human resources, healthcare, housing, mental health, substance abuse, youth programs, or community organizing, whether through your work or from personal experience.
