Community outreach is one of several initiatives the company has undertaken to improve diversity and equality and build an even stronger culture of inclusion.
Now in its third year, APCO’s Diversity and Inclusion Council works to shape opportunities to educate and engage employees. Council members belong to at least one of five sub-committees that focus on more specific initiatives including Internal Outreach, Cultural Inclusivity, Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, and Community Outreach.
The Community Outreach subcommittee’s charter is to source and select community partners that champion social equity initiatives, then deploy funds to support those missions. The four organizations selected to receive funding in 2023 were:
Latina Leaders of Kern County Group – Supports and mentors aspiring young women in California to become leaders in all areas of life.
Women of Color Automotive Network (WOCAN) – Scholarships and general funding to expand the reach of women of color in the automotive industry.
Men Who Dare – Supports, trains, and provides scholarships and mentorships for high-potential young men and women in the Detroit, MI area.
21st Century Leaders – Sends promising Georgia high school students to Goizueta Business School’s entrepreneurship summer learning program.
“Change starts in our communities, and we are passionate about partnering with organizations that move diversity and equality forward,” says Crystal Meinert, Vice President, Human Relations. “The opportunity to invest into these organizations aligns with our core values, and these groups continue to do the important work of advocating for solutions that make a great impact.”
