Economic Empowerment Programs
HRC Foundation's Economic Empowerment programs provide education and resources to LGBTQ+ young adults with a focus on the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate biased systems and gain more economic stability.
Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Economic Empowerment programs provide culturally-responsive education and resources to LGBTQ+ young adults with a focus on the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate biased systems and gain more economic stability.
LGBTQ+ adults face unique challenges that impact their economic well-being. LGBTQ+ job seekers face persistent and pervasive threats of discrimination and bias from prospective employers and the LGBTQ+ community must navigate often exclusionary employment and financial systems. For Black and Brown LGBTQ+ folks, women, and trans and non-binary workers, these realities are compounded by racism, sexism and cissexism. Our programs offer resources at the community, organization, and individual level.
