Diversity + Inclusion
A panel discussion about diversity and inclusion in home repair nonprofits. In this recording, you'll learn how several ReFrame Association members strive to encompass all the ways people can be different from each other, which extends to both protected class characteristics like race/ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and veteran status, and to things like socioeconomic class, level of education attained, urban/rural background, and family structure and composition. Panelists talk about how their organizations have worked to include all people (staff, volunteers, homeowners, community partners, etc.), so that everyone has equal and meaningful opportunities to participate and contribute regardless of their differences and without having to hide those differences or conform to the norms of the dominant culture.
