Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
United Way of Langlade County
We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are.
We welcome everyone's unique perspective and experience to help advance our mission and our agenda for change; focused on education, financial stability, health and safety net services for all.
We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, and advocate should have equal access to solving community problems.
We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusive practices at the center of our work.
We commit to using these practices for our business and the communities we serve.
We embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion for every person in every community in Langlade County.
UWLC shares these values of United Way Worldwide:
Diversity includes expressions of identity reflecting the realities, background, experiences, and perspectives of all individuals, such as the unique attributes of race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, education, age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and beliefs.
Equity ensures just treatment, advancement, and access to opportunities for a safe, healthy, and thriving life while identifying and working to eliminate barriers. Inclusion means creating an environment in which all are welcomed, respected, and able to participate and bring their authentic selves to work.
In order to build sustainable, inclusive, and resilient communities and an organizational culture where each volunteer feels valued and supported. UWLC is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our volunteer groups.
We expect board members, volunteers, and community partners to uphold these values as we work together to foster an equitable and inclusive community. Harassment, bullying, and discrimination will not be tolerated. We consider diversity, equity, and inclusion integral to our work, and at the heart of what it means to Live United.
