The Equi Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon. Our mission is To enrich the health of the Trans, Queer, Gender Diverse and Intersex communities through trauma-informed care, culturally affirming services and social justice advocacy.

Equi’s Community Health Program is designed to connect unhoused or insecurely housed LGBTQAI2S folks - including the intersections of BIPOC, disability, elders and people who use drugs - with traditional health workers to facilitate better connection with health care, peer support, wraparound services, harm reduction, basic first aid, wound care, and COVID-19 prevention. Our goal is to bring social services, and mental and physical health care to the people who need it most.

There is a strong social justice component to all positions within The Equi Institute, requiring critical thinking through the lens of anti-racism and intersections with poverty. Knowing the core principles of anti-racism and grounding those principles in everyday work are required job skills and core values.

Our commitment to equity and social justice happens through advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote equity and opportunity for communities that have been historically harmed through colonization, racism, colorism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, fatphobia, ableism, classism, and all other oppressive frameworks – in our workplace and our communities.

We are interested in individuals who are representative of the diverse populations we serve and are dedicated to serving participants with quality and compassion. We prioritize hiring and training folks who have lived experience of houselessness, and other identities/experiences relevant to the communities we serve (LGBTQAI2S , BIPoC, neurodivergent, disabled).
