Because we were different, many of us were expelled from the nest far too soon.

OUR MISSION

The purpose of Life Is Work is to support and empower trans persons of color through direct services, activism, and advocacy. To achieve this objective, Life Is Work provides case management-guided programs that assist with employment, legal assistance, and safe housing options.

OUR VISION

Life Is Work envisions a society in which transgender individuals of color can acquire safety and wellness despite experiencing discrimination and/or abandonment from family and/or community resources. 

Supporting our efforts is the only way we can push forward
