Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are central to the USO’s values and mission.

The USO provides equal opportunity employment and is committed to recruiting, developing, and sustaining a diverse and qualified workplace where opportunities are created equally regardless of one’s race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, age, handicap, disability, or veteran status.

  • Attracting and leveraging diversity in our staff, volunteers, leadership, and on our Boards.

  • Implementing inclusive practices in how we deliver programs and services to our diverse military community.
