How you can help

Transgender

The Center’s programs and services are open and accessible to everyone in the community. If you’re transgender or someone who is transitioning or preparing to transition, we’ve got a number of programs, activities, and events specifically for you.

From providing leading-edge healthcare to hosting the nation’s largest Transgender Pride Festival, no organization offers a wider range of transgender-specific programming.

  • Resume preparation
  • Leads on jobs with trans-welcoming employers
  • Job interview workshops and mock interviews

Topics of trainings/support for employers include:

  • Mitigating the risk of legal discrimination claims by staying ahead of evolving local, state and federal laws
  • Making the workplace a culturally inclusive environment
