CSI’s DEI Statement

    Home CSI’s DEI Statement

    Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity Statement

    At CSI, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are foundational to who we are and how we work.

    This DEI Statement was collaboratively developed by CSI staff in spring 2025, reflecting shared values, lived experiences, and organizational commitments. It was formally reviewed and approved by the CSI Board of Directors in May 2025 and serves as a guiding framework for our programs, partnerships, and internal culture.

    Science is stronger when everyone has a seat at the table. Our work at Community Science Institute depends on diverse perspectives, engaged communities, and an inclusive approach to environmental science and public health. We strive to foster a culture where individual differences, collaboration, curiosity, and respect drive meaningful impact.

    We welcome feedback as we continue to learn and grow.
