PrintCollaboration with Community Change, Inc. (CCI)The Inclusion Initiative continues to cite Community Change, Inc. (CCI) as an important resource. Its resource library on racism includes resource materials on diversity and inclusion. CCI was organized in 1968 to address racist views and policies held by white people and white-controlled institutions. Through its long history, CCI has furthered its mission by developing programs and an extensive library that specifically deal with racism and has focused its services in three areas:
In 1997, a series of focus groups with CCI staff, diversity consultants and DII grantees revealed a significant overlap of materials used in grantees’ diversity work and those housed in CCI’s library. Many diversity consultants use CCI as a resource in their work, and grantees enthusiastically supported the idea of an expanded library that would include specific diversity materials housed in a central location. The Pappenheim Library is used by grantees for diversity committee/taskforce meetings to preview videos and plan activities for their organizations. All nonprofits new to the Inclusion Initiative are required to attend a technical assistance session with CCI. However, CCI services are available to any organization looking for resources to support internal diversity efforts. Paul Marcus, Director |
