Level Up: Organizing to Action
Level Up is our leadership and empowerment series for trans and gender non-conforming people of color. Through interactive workshops, storytelling, and skill-building, participants grow as advocates, organizers, and community leaders.
Residential Artist Program
Where Art Meets Liberation
TWOCC’s Residential Artist Program uplifts trans and gender-expansive creatives by providing space, resources, and support to explore storytelling, performance, and visual art. Rooted in healing and cultural resistance, this program honors artists as organizers, visionaries, and keepers of our collective truth.
Rhythms of Resilience Art Festival
Our annual Rhythms of Resilience Art Festival celebrates queer creativity through performance, music, poetry, and visual art. This festival is a joyful and healing space that centers the brilliance of BIPOC and queer artists of color.
Mutual Aid Support
TWOCC Survival + Wellness Fund
TWOCC provides direct financial support to trans and gender non-conforming people of color through our Mutual Aid Program. We prioritize sex workers, unhoused community members, and those healing from trauma. Funds are limited and based on availability.
TWILLOW
In collaboration with My Sistah's House and GILEAD Sciences, TWILLOW (Trans Women Involved in Life Learning from Other Women) is a peer-led training and empowerment space for trans women living with HIV. Participants explore decision-making, sexual health, and social support in a culturally rooted environment.
Mission Circle
The Mission Circle is a collective of committed volunteers, advisors, and organizers who support TWOCC’s vision through strategy, fundraising, and relationship-building. It’s not a board—it’s a movement circle grounded in accountability and care.
ELEVATE
Power. Connection. Growth.
Coming in Fall 2025
Elevate is a peer-led space for trans women of color engaged in sex work to build healthy relationships, expand life skills, and access affirming support. This confidential program centers safety, healing, and leadership—because every woman deserves the tools to thrive, not just survive.
