United is the Way to prioritize creating a welcoming and respectful environment in all areas of our work, both internally and externally. A successful effort to build youth opportunities, a healthy community, financial security, and community resilience requires that we listen to, learn from, and elevate the voices of those who are most in need and those who have historically not been heard. We recognize that every individual in our United Way community brings unique value to our mission. We understand that our employees, donors, volunteers, partners, and stakeholders each offer different experiences, perspectives, and expectations. We welcome and encourage active participation and shared insight from all. We strive to ensure a broad range of voices are represented across our staff, volunteer committees, Board of Directors, and the nonprofit community. We are committed to being open-minded and brave in how we engage with one another — always working toward growth and progress for our entire community.
