Embracing Cultural Heritages

Author: Patrick Hardesty

Planning Unit: Taylor County CES

Major Program: Build Engaged and Empowered Communities – General

Plan of Work: Improving the Health and Quality of Life for all Taylor County Citizens

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Understanding and promoting diversity is the first step in creating diversity, equity, and inclusion.   It is impossible to comprehend or foster equity and inclusion without diversity.  People from every kind of demographic must have representation in any given arena of society for their perspectives to be recognized, understood, and considered in policy making decisions.

 

The Taylor County Extension Service fosters diversity, equity and inclusion by collaborating with the following organizations to help embrace our cultural heritages:  Great Campbellsville United, Juneteenth, Diversity Festival, Early Childhood Collaborative, Adult Education, Community Action, Feeding America, Kentucky Heartland, Campbellsville Housing, The Healing Place, Green River Ministries, Interagency Council, Grandparents as Parents and ASAP.
