EQUITY & INCLUSION

Equity means everyone.

---

Working to promote equity in education is an essential component of the work of Wallin Education Partners and is key to building a better future. We focus on creating equitable outcomes for every one of our scholars. We serve a diverse and expanding community including Black, Latinx, Indigenous, AAPI, and multi-racial scholars.

We believe racism has no place in education. Wallin Education Partners is fully committed to do our part to eliminate systemic racism in our community. We do this in part by continuing to center our scholars, their experiences, their needs, and their journeys as we build a more equitable world.

OUR ORGANIZATION

Equity begins with all of us.

---

Equity is central to who we are as an organization. Since its founding, Wallin has focused on increasing access and success in college for students from low-income backgrounds. This central pillar of our work is even more important today as barriers continue to disproportionately affect marginalized communities. 
 
As a team, we are committed to being an anti-racist organization.​ We focus on building equity in our communtiy and being an equitable partner ourselves. We have accelerated our efforts to build a diverse, and inclusive culture. As an organization, our equity work centers on three key actions: learning, including, and serving.
