We actively foster a culture of equity and inclusion, recognizing the many dimensions of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, socioeconomic status, and more. We provide resources to address racism and discrimination in schools and support organizations like The Conscious Kid.

We support and volunteer with organizations such as Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth—and encourage you to support causes meaningful to you.

Sustainability is part of our work ethos: we minimize paper use, implement low-waste solutions, and maintain a carbon-negative footprint.
