Our diversity & racial equity mission statement confirms our commitment to fostering and maintaining a work environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are woven into our organizational DNA.

We recognize that structural racism, discrimination, systems of power, and other forms of oppression, give privilege and access to resources, lead to inequities, and have contributed to persistent disparities.

OBT is on an intentional journey to champion and operationalize the values of racial equity, diversity, and inclusion in our organization and the communities we serve.

We strive to sustain a culture where all individuals can thrive and feel a sense of belonging, especially those whose voices and experiences have been historically marginalized.

We commit our work to breaking oppressive barriers and serving as a bridge to sustainable economic opportunities that will build and strengthen an equitable workforce.
