DIVERSITY
Underlying the role and mission of the Beaufort County United Way, is a firm belief in the dignity of all people. We reaffirm this belief in our policies, which guide and direct our employment practices, program funding, and volunteer recruitment. The intent of this policy is to reflect the positive value of diversity in the community and to reflect the spirit of diversity as well as the actual wording.
Diversity, as defined by the Beaufort County United Way, provides equal opportunity to all people without regard to race, creed, color, gender, religion, marital status, disability, sex, age, national origin, or ancestry. Beaufort County United Way promotes the full realization of this policy through the positive recognition of the value of diversity.
Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what it means to LIVE UNITED. Read more about our diversity, equity, and inclusion policy here.
