NEADS Corporate DEI Statement
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion: A Foundation for Changing Lives
NEADS strives to build and maintain a culture that encourages, respects, and celebrates the diverse voices of our staff. To support an inclusive environment, we have created a staff DEI program that allows for self and group exploration and is driven by the employees of NEADS. By embracing and understanding different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds we can create a more collaborative work environment, advance our mission, and connect more closely with our volunteers, donors, clients, and the communities we serve.
