With UnitedHeatlh Group’s support, the YMCA’s Equity Innovation Center (EIC) continues to be committed to connecting people and groups with valuable information, resources and insight to help them navigate our ever-changing community and learn ways to advance inclusivity and systems change so all may thrive.
The Equity Innovation Center focuses on fueling equity innovation for greater impact. By equity, we mean the ability to see and remove structural barriers in systems for people to create equal opportunity. To raise our individual and collective cultural competence and understanding. By innovation, we mean fresh approaches and practices that positively impact the organization.
Already in 2022 more than 4,000 individuals have embarked on a pathway of Leading with Excellence and Equity through learning experiences that can be applied in system change work for greater equity.
Since March 2020 when the pandemic began, more over 16,826 people engaged in learning experiences around diversity, equity, and inclusion.
