Employee Resource Groups

Welcome to the ERG page!

You can learn about each of our 4 Employee Resource Groups: LC3, REC, AARC, and SOGI.

Language, Culture, & Community Committee

The Language, Culture, & Community Committee (LC3) exists to serve and support our volunteers, families, staff, and communities for whom English is a second language. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment and promote equitable access to information and resources within our communities, agency, and across our programs.

Racial Equity Committee

The goal of REC is to put into action our agency’s belief that we will thrive as an organization when perspectives are diverse, our culture is inclusive, and our practices model the equity we want to see in the world. We create space for learning and engagement for all staff and consult with leadership and staff to ensure our best practices and outcomes reflect our beliefs.

Access-Ability Resource Committee

The Access-Ability Resource Committee (AARC) provides leadership, resources, and support to the BBBSEM community to address access barriers and create a culture of awareness and celebration of all abilities. Through the use of collaborative advocacy and inclusive practices from a disability justice perspective, our goal is to create an accessible community.

Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Committee

The SOGI Committee collaborates with our DEI teams in leading the agency’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, through advocating for the LGBTQ+ community. This employee-led committee provides education, advocacy, and personal and professional development opportunities to ensure that we are promoting a workplace and agency that is reflective of our program participants, staff members, and diverse world.
