Diversity & Inclusion

Easterseals Southern California's strength is in our diversity and inclusive culture. We are committed to making sure our leaders, staff, volunteers and partnerships are as diverse as the communities we serve. Easterseals, in action and advocacy, prioritizes equity, respect and belonging.


Every day, we strive to uphold our values of respect and inclusion through programs and services tailored to meet the needs of individuals.

As part of our work toward our goal of making Southern California the most inclusive place for people with disabilities by 2030, we want a workplace and communities where everyone can RISE.
