The Villages Commitment to Racial Justice, Equity, and Inclusion of all Marginalized Groups

 

The Villages is committed to continue to fight racism, to use an equity lens to guide our organizational and Public Policy Work, and to be intentional, each and every day, about eliminating disparities for all marginalized groups. To create and maintain a culture of inclusion and equity by engaging authentic voices of those with lived experiences, The Villages will utilize its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan to help guide the organization to better reflect and promote the thoughts and ideas of diverse staff.  This commitment is a covenant between our dedicated staff, volunteers, foster, adoptive, and kinship families, Board of Directors, and the 11,000 lives we are privileged to touch each year.
