OUR MISSION
As the first Black and Brown Trans-led social services and advocacy organization in the Midwest, Life Is Work has a mission to support and uplift trans people of color through direct services, activism and advocacy. To accomplish this mission, Life Is Work provides case management-guided programs assisting with employment, legal services, and safe residential options.
OUR VISION
Life Is Work envisions a world where trans people of color can obtain safety and wellness after facing discrmination and/or abandonment from family and community resources. To accomplish this, Life is Work provides needed development skills, legal aid, and housing assistance to all transgender and non-Binary persons of color on Chicago’s westside.
