To empower Iowa’s communities and school districts to make more environmental, conservation-minded decisions and improvements by engaging our AmeriCorps members in direct service work, environmental education, professional development opportunities, and volunteer engagement.
It is vital to our mission to foster a culture where our service members and community partners feel valued, supported, and included in every aspect of service. We commit to using these practices in our passion for environmental stewardship.
Our goal is to have an ever-changing, living DEI statement. We seek to provide opportunities for every person, regardless of sex, race, creed, orientation, age, gender expression, religion, national origin, migratory status, disability/abilities, political affiliation, veteran status and socioeconomic background.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are vital components in the everyday life of GIA and are critical to achieving the real impacts we desire in our communities.
