Overview

Ellevation helps English Language Learners realize their highest aspirations.

We constantly learn from educators, and the work we do reflects their insights. We will listen, innovate, and deliver.

  • Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Here at Ellevation, we champion diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. We strive to build a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We’re an equal opportunity employer, committed to creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values a range of ideas and opinions. We embrace all types of differences in the development of our organization. We are proud to have been recognized in prior years as “Best Tech Workplace for Diversity” from the Timmy Awards for investing in training around inclusive behaviors, microaggressions, unconscious bias, and fostering a culture of sharing educational resources across the company. We are encouraged by our progress, but there’s more work to be done.  

DEI Champions

DEI Champions is a company sponsored initiative that grew out of our awareness to create a more inclusive workplace. Ten team members either volunteered or were nominated as DEI Champions and have been trained to facilitate small group discussions about race and our personal experiences in the workplace.

Our DEI Champions had the privilege of working with Dr. Ella Washington from Ellavate Solutions who guided them in crafting these discussions on topics that allowed all our employees a safe space to openly talk about race in the workplace.

In these conversations, we’ve asked employees to consider how race connects to Ellevation’s mission, how they’ve seen that connection play out in their work, and how race has impacted their experience at Ellevation. These discussions, as well as an analysis of our own demographics, brought to light the need to improve the diversity of our company’s workforce.
