What Transforming Generations does

Transforming Generations is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 and headquartered at 2356 University Ave W. Suite 230 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The organization provides culturally relevant support services to victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Hmong and Southeast Asian communities, operating from a trauma-informed, strength-based approach described as 'compassionate accountability.' Its service portfolio spans advocacy and crisis intervention, holistic healing, case management, youth programming, the Queer Justice Program serving Southeast Asian LGBTQ+ individuals, the Txiv Neej Yawg Program addressing international marriages, and Immigration & Deportation Resources. The organization also conducts community education through the 'Advocacy as Collective Care' training curriculum (15 modules) and runs the 'Reclaiming Power: Hmong Survivor Stories of Sexual Abuse' archival project.

The organization's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, reaching beneficiaries through in-person office appointments, community events (Sib Hlub Circle, Pride Fest), virtual/hybrid programming via Zoom, and partner referrals from other community providers. It maintains a strategic partnership with SEAFN on the Southeast Asian Relief and Responsibility Campaign and shared advocacy coalitions such as the 2020 MMIW march with MIWRSAC.

Transforming Generations is funded primarily through charitable donations (accepted via the Givebutter platform) and grants, with a nominal program fee option via PayPal. All direct services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. The entity is privately held and operates under non-profit governance with no disclosed board, executive team, or financial figures in the source material.
