Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

United Way of Central Washington fosters and promotes an inclusive environment in all aspects of our work. We take the broadest possible view of diversity. We value that every person brings a unique perspective and experience. We believe that each United Way community member donor, volunteer, advocate and employee must have equal access to solving community problems. We commit to using these practices for our business and our communities. Join us in embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion for every person in every community. LIVE UNITED

United Way of Central Washington strives to embody “Live United” by including diversity, equity, and inclusion as an integral part of our work. We believe that every individual is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and acknowledge that structural racism/ethnic discrimination, as well as other forms of oppression, have contributed to the persistence of disparities, which we seek to eliminate. We expect staff, volunteers, and our community partners to uphold these values as we work together to build a more equitable and inclusive community. Our United Way works hard to engage community members, particularly those whose voices have historically been marginalized. We commit to using these practices for our business and our communities.
