One County
Many Voices
The formation of groups like the Northumberland Diverse People Coalition is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within communities. Such coalitions aim to proactively engage with social and educational networks to foster environments where all members feel valued, respected, and have equal access to opportunities.
By focusing on lifting communities and individuals, these organizations contribute to creating more cohesive and supportive environments. They often work on various initiatives, such as hosting community events, providing educational resources, and advocating for policy changes that promote inclusivity.
The emphasis on DEI also acknowledges the variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that enrich communities. By welcoming and embracing this diversity, coalitions like the Northumberland Diverse People Coalition help build resilience, innovation, and communal strength.
Engaging in such proactive efforts can lead to positive change and growth, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the prosperity of their community.
Our Mission
The NCPC calls on us all to value ourselves and one another by respecting and celebrating our unique cultures, identities, contributions, and lived experiences. We seek to engage all members of the community to help create a Northumberland County that elevates diverse voices and experiences, so all members of the community feel valued, respected, and have equal access to opportunities.
