DEI

PROVIDING A SAFE SPACE FOR EVERYONE TO BE THER AUTHENTIC SELVES.

At Project, each person is unique – in background, ability, age, race, gender, orientation, religion, status, and viewpoint – and is an essential thread in the fabric of our family of agencies. Every one of our people has the right to work in an environment that is respectful, safe, and gives us space to be our authentic selves. That is our philosophy and therefore our pledge: to build this mindset into our culture, our day-to-day practices, and ultimately our work on behalf of our clients.

We can succeed on that pledge only when we have effective practices, policies, education and training, and other support systems that ensure we have a team that is as diverse and inclusive as our communities and the clients we serve. All our agencies commit to listen, learn and enact changes whenever and wherever we should. And we hold ourselves and each other accountable to those commitments.

Support Project Prism, a group built to highlight and support our DEI efforts. The group comprises employee representatives from Project agencies across the network and senior Project leadership and is a conduit into Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) within our agencies.
Invest in initiatives, partnerships, and internships that create opportunities for a diverse recruitment pipeline across all levels and practice areas.
Invest in mentorship programs, especially for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women employees.
Provide training and educational opportunities.
Establish and continuously support equal pay practices.
Publish out EEO-1 data with annual updates.
