Give to the Max

The Greater Mankato Diversity Council (GMDC) is dedicated to enhancing the Mankato area’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming community through impactful diversity education. Our mission is clear: to leverage diversity education as a powerful catalyst for social and economic success. GMDC is committed to helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of diversity and enhancing their cultural competence through Promoting Respect Workshops, multicultural events, and various diversity initiatives.

Our mission is bolstered by three essential focus areas that drive our work within the community:

1. **Global**: Equipping communities to navigate an increasingly interconnected world with awareness and understanding.

2. **Inclusive**: Fostering an open, safe, and supportive learning environment for students of all backgrounds in our schools.

3. **Vibrant**: Collaborating with businesses and industries to cultivate a diverse workforce that fuels economic growth and stability.

As a non-profit organization, GMDC passionately affirms the full participation of all individuals. We do not advocate for any single group or individual; rather, we serve as a comprehensive resource, emphasizing the significance of respecting and valuing differences. Join us in building a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone.
