ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

The work of BGCTC is grounded in a set of values and organizational beliefs that provide a common starting point for all our activities. At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities, there is nothing more important than the safety and well-being of our youth and families. Clubs are a safe space, and we remain committed to championing inclusivity, equity, and opportunity for our young people.

DIVERSITY STATEMENT:

BGCTC designs and implements data-driven strategies to disrupt structural inequities in education, health, and government that perpetuate opportunity gaps. Achieving this ambitious goal requires both education-specific systemic interventions and broader cultural and structural shifts that reduce the inequities that lead to opportunity gaps. While BGCTC alone cannot build a more diverse, just, equitable, and inclusive society, both the success of its work and its organizational values require modeling in the workplace the change we want to see in the world. This means cultivating a workforce, organizational culture, and priorities that respect and celebrate a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team made up of individuals with different identities, lived experiences, and backgrounds. Within both its team and across every part of its work, BGCTC strives to integrate and elevate the full range of voices. This is a living commitment. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are values to be manifested daily, in the work BGCTC does, the decisions it makes, and the way staff treat each other and the people they seek to serve. This means creating a space where staff can be included, heard, valued, and set up for success, and where everyone feels empowered to bring their full best selves to work. BGCTC will not check boxes and consider it done. The organization will push new innovations and different ways of thinking, and treasure the community built and strengthened by each individual contribution.
