Imagine!'s Policy of Equal Employment Opportunity & Vision for Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion ​ Because of the nature of what we do at Imagine!, diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion are not just something we hope to achieve, but are a major part of our everyday goals. We envision a warm and welcoming environment for all clients accepting services, all employees, and all members of our community. Our mission of creating a world of opportunity for ALL abilities applies to everyone, no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you look like. ​ Tragically, in the history of our State, people with disabilities were locked away in institutions, and separated from society, without much support or care. So, in 1963, when a group of caring parents came together and said “Enough is enough. We cannot continue to stand by while people of our community are treated so unfairly,” Imagine! was formed. From that day forward, Imagine! has worked to build a variety of community-centered services based on the principles of diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion – to create a place of belonging. We at Imagine! believe that a diverse workforce helps our entire community through fresh ideas and perspectives, opportunities for innovation, and better practices that spring from a variety of experiences. We cannot do our best for people with disabilities in Boulder and Broomfield counties without the active involvement of many different people, and us honoring their unique talents, gifts, and knowledge. Imagine! welcomes all applicants for our career opportunities. Imagine! is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We respect the dignity and diversity of individual work force members. We strive to foster a just, equitable, and inclusive workplace. We also recognize the value of diversity in our organization and wish to employee a workforce that is as diverse as the communities and the people we serve. Unlawful discrimination in employment because of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender or gender expression, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, veteran status, hair style or texture, genetic information, or other characteristics protected by applicable laws is strictly prohibited. We regularly examine our own policies, processes, and procedures toward ensuring that they reflect our values and mission of creating a world of opportunity for ALL abilities.
