ABOUT US

Our Mission

To create lasting solutions to employment barriers, social injustice, and homelessness for the LGBTQIA+ community through the power of events that inspire change and programs focused on educational outreach, made possible by the generosity of our donors.

Our Why

Today, nearly half of LGBTQIA+ workers report experiencing some form of unfair treatment at work in their lives. Trans individuals are twice as likely to experience job denial or discrimination. In their lifetime, 17% of LGBTQIA+ people report being homeless at some point in their lives, compared to 6% of the general population.

WE CREATE OPPORTUNITY

The LGBTQIA+ community continues to face barriers to employment across the United States. Our goal is to provide educational workshops focused on resume writing, career coaching, and advisement, as well as small business coaching at no cost to participants.
