Across the foundation, Casey Family Programs’ policies and practices add up to a firm commitment to diversity and anti-racism:
- Recruiting qualified staff from communities of color
- Applying racial and ethnic identity practices in daily clinical work
- Ongoing training in anti-racism and cultural competence
- Contracting with businesses owned by women and persons of color
- Addressing racial issues through creating the Casey Alliance for Racial Equity (CARE)—Casey Family Programs, Annie E. Casey Foundation, Casey Family Services, Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, Marguerite Casey Foundation
This four-page briefing tells the story of Casey's increasing involvement in communities of color, and of the changes it has effected since 1975 in services to youth, tools and resources for caseworkers, and state, tribal, and federal advocacy efforts.
