We commit to reducing social, cultural and economic barriers and promoting fair outcomes for all. We envision a city where social, cultural and economic barriers do not predict opportunities, outcomes or how resources are distributed.
The Equity in Action team is committed to providing shared learning opportunities for City of Norfolk employees and enhanced access to programs and services for residents.
The Equity in Action division works to embed equity and inclusion in the city culture through a continuum of services. Through the Equity Ambassadors Training initiative, we equip city employees to share Diversity, Equity and Inclusion tools and resources with their respective departments. Each graduate of the training develops a project designed to create a more equitable and inclusive environment.
As we think about Economic Inclusion and creating access and opportunity, the City of Norfolk is proud to offer a resource, available to entrepreneurs, which takes their business from an idea to execution. Sometimes the best ideas come at 2 a.m. - and StartGrowBiz supports that.
