We Believe in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Trips for Kids Bay Area actively engages with diverse individuals from all backgrounds and seeks to reach all communities that lack access to biking, bike trails, bike equipment, and educational out-of school programs with caring adults. We firmly believe that diversity at the staff, board, and volunteer levels helps us to achieve our best outcomes and provide the most effective programs.
We believe in diversity throughout our organization as it enriches our workplace, including identity-focused characteristics, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and/or age. We strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for open positions and volunteer opportunities, and we actively recruit with this in mind. We also strive to build partnerships with other diverse community groups to further our impact.
We believe in equity, which we define as; fair treatment, access, and opportunity for all regardless of an individual's identity. We are committed to always upholding equitable practices throughout our organization ensuring fair and equal access to opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Inclusion is how we demonstrate our commitment to diversity and equity. Inclusion is at the core of our organization’s culture, which is centered around organizational-wide transparency, open dialogue, and a belief that everyone is appreciated and welcomed.
Our commitment to DEI does not mean we steer away from conflict or hard discussions, instead, it means we seek to understand other viewpoints, honor differences, strengthen our commitment to core values, and foster a sense of belonging. Most importantly, we agree to respect each other and take seriously our professional, ethical, and legal responsibilities to honor each other’s differences.
