Inclusion, Diversity & Equity

We offer employee and client trainings and groups that help us expand our minds, sharpen our perceptions, and make our circle of inclusion even wider.

This team helps oversee our ID&E practices, set strategic direction, and prioritize our actions into workable initiatives and projects—including reporting and analytics, community partnerships, and enhancing our education program.

We’re significantly expanding the channels where we find Builders today in an effort to find candidates that represent the rich diversity of our communities, partners, and clients.

We all get better at this by communicating in a candid, direct manner in a space where Builders feel safe to speak honestly about their lived experiences. It’s a powerful, necessary experience.

People show readiness differently, and it’s rarely an if/then process. We’ve developed rigor around identifying divergent strengths that can be cultivated to grow the Build leaders of tomorrow. Mentorship and sponsorship programs are just who we are and part of our culture.

Every Build location has a leader dedicated to ID&E. They’re responsible for ensuring our efforts seamlessly incorporate into day-to-day operations, facilitation of feedback and updating the center on progress in monthly Town Hall meetings.
