Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity, inclusion and equity are fundamental values for United Way, both internally and externally.

We work to create solutions to the challenges of poverty in our region for the kids who need it most. We know that communities of color face the greatest disparities in terms of childhood poverty. That’s why equity is so important to our work in the community. Learn more.

Staff and Board Diversity

We’re proud to be able to say that our staff and board demographics reflect the diversity of the four-county region we serve.

Internal Diversity Work

We have a variety of internal committees and work groups that staff are encouraged to join. One is the Equity Action Team. This group serves as a sounding board for new internal policies and procedures to make sure that we’re taking into account diversity and inclusion. It also helps with diversity-related projects, such as staff diversity trainings, assessing our equity as an organization and developing an equity lens for our work. Finally, the group leads our involvement in external cultural events in the community.
