NOVEMBER 2018
In many ways, October 2018 was an unprecedented month for the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities . With partners from around Virginia, our organization:

  • Conducted a record 66 programs and events in 31 days.


  • Opened our first Hampton Roads office and welcomed Paula Bazemore as the VCIC Hampton Roads Program Manager.

  • Educated community members at a forum co-sponsored by VCIC to support the transgender community.

  • Supported a community listening process regarding the controversial name of a high school.



  • Was featured in a profile on NBC-12 that spotlighted our work on educational equity.

  • And more!

As we are reminded of the importance of VCIC's mission in the news each day, we look forward to finding ways to partner with schools, businesses, and communities across Virginia. Contact our office by phone at (804) 515-7950 or by emailing Director of Programs Jessica Hawthorne . 

We look forward to working with you!
