Focusing on ValpoNEXT initiatives No. 1: Engaging Our Citizens and No. 3: Embracing Our Diversity, ValpoNEXT strives to help Valpo be welcoming and inclusive in all dimensions, from civic engagement to housing and jobs, diversity, and everything in between. ValpoNEXT plays an active role in supporting initiatives that are being pursued by other groups and organizations in community and celebrate the diversity within the Valparaiso community.
ValpoNEXT focuses on Equity and Inclusion in a number of ways:
- We created a resource page on race and racism to support people of color in our community and to bring awareness to the truths that lie within our country, and add to it when we find great resources we feel we should share!
- We share posts from and support organizations that work with different groups of people in our community (organizations that work with people with disabilities, housing organizations, etc.)
- We collaborate with organizations in the area that have missions and visions that align with the ValpoNEXT Vision Plan's initiatives that talk about diversity, inclusion, and anything in between (Check out organizations we have worked with HERE)
