Trans Up Front Shows Up!
Trans Up Front offers a range of free and donation-based services tailored to support transgender and gender nonconforming individuals and their families. Depending on your needs, we invite you to contact us to discuss rates, timelines, and specific details.
Our core focus is one-on-one advocacy, helping individuals and families navigate educational, medical, and legal systems. We are proud to offer this support at no cost—because everyone deserves access to guidance and care, regardless of their financial situation.
If you or someone you know is in need of support, please reach out using the form below. We’re here to walk alongside you.
One on One:
At Trans Up Front, families are at the heart of our work. We offer free, individualized advocacy for transgender and gender non-conforming youth and young adults (ages 4–25), along with their support networks. Whether you're navigating a new transition, addressing school-related challenges, seeking access to medical or mental health care, or facing legal concerns, our team is here to support and guide you every step of the way.
School Board & advocacy
In today’s political climate, attacks on transgender and gender nonconforming students are on the rise. While we’re fortunate to call Illinois, a sanctuary state with strong support from top elected officials, our home, we recognize that this hasn’t stopped those emboldened by national rhetoric from attempting to spread hate in our schools. We are here to partner with you and your community to organize, show up, and speak out.
Consulting:
Trainings & education:
Our consulting services work with organizations to create and implement inclusive practices that foster a diverse, equitable, and supportive workplace and educational institute for LGBTQIA+ community. We work closely with your team to assess current policies, identify areas for improvement, and develop customized strategies that promote inclusivity across all levels of your organization. This is best coupled with our training and education options.
We offer custom training programs tailored to your school, organization, conference or workplace, focused on best practices for fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. Our trainings cover key areas like diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA), with strategies for promoting respect and inclusivity within the LGBTQIA+ community with a focus on the intersectionality of identities.
public speaking:
Our public speaking services offer compelling and insightful presentations on Transgender & Gender Nonconforming rights, aimed at educating and inspiring audiences on the importance of equality, inclusion, and respect for the TGNC community. Our goal is to empower audiences to advocate for positive change and stand up for the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their own sexual orientation and gender identity.
