DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION STATEMENT
We take the broadest possible view of diversity. We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are. We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and make progress toward the employment and financial stability of every person in every community. We believe that each client, donor, volunteer, advocate, and the employee must have equal access to solving the community challenges we work to address at Strategic Workforce Development Inc. We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. We commit to using these practices for our organization and the communities which we serve.
"A community that sees so clearly its own disadvantage or its own hardships also has a harder time seeing its potential: its ability to work together to change the community and change their lives "- Matthew Desmond
