Inclusive Community Impact
We're dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard and valued - one where everyone can grow and thrive. We are stronger, better and more capable of achieving our business outcomes when we embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
For our employees, we strive to provide employment experiences that empower all. Whether assisting customers in our store and donation centers, contributing in our offices, or supporting our program participants, everyone's work is valuable and everyone belongs. And beyond belonging, we work to provide meaningful opportunities for growth and development within our organization.
Our approach to inclusivity extends beyond our workforce to our partners, program participants, job seekers and the communities we proudly serve. We are aiming to create an environment where everyone in our communities has the opportunity to thrive. By embracing diverse perspectives and backgrounds, we can break down barriers to employment and foster a more equitable society.
“At the heart of our organization is a belief in the power and dignity of work. We are committed to doing our part in creating a more equitable and just society which starts by creating a more inclusive workplace, removing barriers for our employees to grow in their careers and reaching more broadly across the communities we serve to find workforce development solutions.”
- Jackie Hallberg, President & CEO

Employee Resource Groups
Belonging matters. Our Employee Resource Groups promote diversity and equality by providing a space to celebrate the identities, experiences and backgrounds of team members. We believe these unique perspectives enhance our organization and culture.
These employee-led groups are open to any employee or ally interested in fostering community and inclusion. Each group plans events and activities with the goal of cultivating an inclusive environment where experiences can be honored and heard.
