Community Outreach

Inclusive communities are successful communities

Community Development

We help Cuyahoga County organizations reach their access and inclusion goals through our ALL means ALL initiative.

• ALL means ALL outlines six steps businesses can take to ensure they are welcoming of all people and able to support inclusion in all activities, programs and events.
  • We provide staff training, resources, and consultations to help organizations meet ALL means ALL standards.
  • We help organizations connect with new audiences and customers. Organizations are promoted in Cuyahoga DD marketing, social media and our online guide of inclusive places, jobs and events.
    • Organizations receive an ALL means ALL window/door decal and a digital image to display.

Workforce Development

We connect Cuyahoga County businesses with hiring needs to qualified candidates.

• We partner with the Employment Collaborative of Cuyahoga County, a non-profit that collaborates with over 60 non-profits, social service and government agencies dedicated to helping businesses access local qualified job seekers to meet their staffing needs.
  • Contact Chris Carpenter, Manager of Strategic Analysis, at carpenter.christopher@cuyahogabdd.org for more information.
