We are requesting basic <br />information about your organization’s racial equity work. <br />Describe how the agency incorporates racial equity into its goals. (150 word limit) <br />Racial equity is a dynamic and ongoing process that demands continual evaluation <br />and adaptation. Presently, our organization focuses on three crucial elements: <br />enhancing education and awareness of local issues, fostering community <br />engagement, and delivering culturally competent programming. Our initial imperative <br />is to grasp the intricacies of racial equity issues, comprehend historical contexts, and <br />recognize systemic biases. This involves actively pursuing educational opportunities <br />and establishing connections with like-minded organizations that can furnish <br />resources for our ongoing growth. <br />Moreover, we are committed to listening and learning directly from communities most <br />affected by these issues. Through proactive engagement, we seek input from diverse <br />racial and ethnic groups, ensuring that our programming caters to the community's <br />varied needs. This approach aids in the development of culturally competent <br />programming, fostering accessibility and inclusivity. <br />A noteworthy example of our commitment is the creation of 'Telling the Full Story.’ <br />Docusign Envelope ID: FF1380BF-C4AC-418A-8F31-F443232B396D
