Our DEI-related commitments:

• Increase the autonomy of Pathfinder country offices outside of the US by using a social justice lens to examine our US-based processes and structures and explore ways to increase operational autonomy outside the US to drive even greater impact.
• Attract and retain diverse staff and board of directors who reflect the communities where Pathfinder works and contribute in a highly professional, inclusive, and respectful manner.
• Create a more equitable and inclusive organization through our programs and internal structures, systems, and policies that exemplify our values and meet the diverse needs of Pathfinder staff and those we serve.
• Become a learning organization to better understand and address equity and social justice barriers within Pathfinder and the communities where we work.

Currently, 91% of our staff are from the countries we serve globally.

In addition to Pathfinder’s leaders, the following teams guide our DEI efforts:

• A Global DEI Council that represents the geographical areas where Pathfinder currently works and ensures DEI activities are connected to Pathfinder’s mission and embedded within our policies and systems.
• A Gender Equity Initiative that is furthering our progress as leaders in gender equity and inclusivity, and as an employer of choice for women and parents.
• A US Racial Justice Leadership Team that is building an anti-racist culture at Pathfinder by strengthening the capacity of US staff to communicate about race, mobilize for change, and advocate for more inclusive policies and organizational practices.
