Volunteer FAQ

Is this volunteer experience right for me?

TACT centers the lived experience of trans and nonbinary people and is a trans-led organization. TACT is committed to the inclusion of all members of our community. We welcome and strongly encourage people from historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged groups, including BIPOC, trans-feminine folks, folks with disabilities, and folks from working class backgrounds to apply.

What can I expect as a TACT volunteer?

​As a new grassroots nonprofit, it's all hands on deck. We are currently seeking volunteers who are willing to take initiative and jump in wherever they are needed most.

Do you want to create a world where trans folks can thrive and be deeply understood? So do we. Join us and let's make this dream a reality, together.

I want to help out but I have a limited amount of time to give. What position is right for me?

For folks who want to volunteer but cannot commit a large amount of time to volunteer work, we recommend our Action + Outreach volunteer position. This position only requires 1 hour of your time each week and is entirely remote.

For folks who are located in the Bay Area, we also have opportunities to support on an occasional and as needed basis as an Events Volunteer.

Do you offer internship opportunities?

Yes, we do! Our internships provide an opportunity to have a deeper impact on our organization while gaining valuable skills and educational credits. At this time, internships are unpaid and are only open to enrolled undergraduate and graduate students.

Contact us at info@yourtact.org if you are interested in learning more about our internship opportunities. We have a limited number of internship opportunities available each semester. The following departments usually host interns:

• Media + Design
• Database
• Gender Advocate Program
• Education + Awareness
