Greetings!
Dating back to our founding in 1935, our organization has served schools, businesses, and communities, helping individuals and institutions achieve success through inclusion. This 87-year legacy provides a deep understanding of the needs and opportunities that exist in Virginia connected to diversity and inclusion, as well as strong, trusting relationships with a wide range of communities across the Commonwealth.
Today, VCIC is called upon to facilitate over 1,000 programs annually, training nearly 30,000 Virginians. Our programs are based on up-to-date academic research to raise knowledge, motivation, and skills. We encourage all participants to consider the responsibility they have within their spheres of influence to advance inclusion.
And what do participants say about our programs? A middle school students who participated in VCIC's Prejudice Awareness Summit last month stated that:
“It was great to share my experiences and have people who relate to me. I felt very safe and supported within my group.”
A college student who participated in a VCIC retreat several years ago recently reach out to share:
“Recently, I realized that Project Inclusion actually was the first time I was exposed to community organizing and proposing solutions to take back to our communities... To this day, I am still very interested in this work.”
Additionally, a parent whose daughter recently participated in a VCIC program wrote:
"She returned home very empowered and discussed actions she and her classmates can take going forward to be more aware and create a more inclusive environment."
Thank you for your partnership that makes VCIC's work possible. Please let us know how VCIC can continue to support your community. We look forward to working with you!
