Message about Diversity at United Way

United Way recognizes that in order to effectively engage our community, staff, volunteers, donors and community partners to achieve our community impact goals, we must embrace the diversity of the communities we serve. Our culture, recruitment, partnerships and other business practices demonstrate inclusiveness in every way we can. Externally, we work with organizations—non-profit and for-profit alike—that represent the diverse spectrum of providers, businesses and clients that our community has to offer. Internally, our mission is to promote a welcoming and inclusive environment where people feel supported and listened to and where they can strive for their personal best at work. We celebrate our community's diversity and welcome the opportunity to continue partnerships with all walks of Rochester life.
