BSA’s Employment Justice Program is mutual aid and public health program that works to align trans people with jobs and opportunities in union/protected and affirming workplaces all over Chicago while focusing on HIV prevention and education as a tool for self-empowerment and self-advocacy. This program will work directly with trans people, and partner organizations, to fight back against the employment discrimination and systematic un/underemployment that is widespread in our community while also connecting them to HIV preventative resources and care.

During this 8-month program, participants will receive basic job skills training and we will receive life skills needed to obtain and maintain employment on a weekly basis. Please note, program participants can and will be employed throughout the duration of the 8-month training period and will consistently receive additional resources along the way.

Through this program, community members will be connected to the following:
*Assistance with obtaining and maintaining jobs
*Basic job skills training and life skills development
*Access to FREE HIV testing
*Assistance with signing up for Medicaid
