Jobs

Who should apply to work at A4TE?

• We are committed to creating a diverse and intersectional team made up of people who are kind, optimistic, talented and committed to social justice.
• You don’t need to have experience as a “trans activist.” While being an “activist” of any kind is great and relevant, so is working or volunteering to serve the trans community, or other communities, in many other ways, whether that is through a service group, a community group, or in another kind of way. People coming from the for-profit world are also welcome. Just be sure to tell us how your life experience translates to what we need in the position we are hiring for.
• Most roles at A4TE are remote, though some may have regional requirements. Because of this, our applicant pool consists of people from across the country. A4TE can assist with relocation expenses for candidates who are offered the position, if the position’s location requires it. Please don’t let the cost of moving stop you from applying.
