In New York last week, we teamed up with the
Harlem Children’s Zone for a full-day workshop with college students to review their resumes and conduct mock interviews, aimed at supporting the organization’s goal of ending the cycle of generational poverty. And in Ann Arbor, Mich., we joined the
Ann Arbor Community Center and University of Michigan students to serve hot meals and give out winter garments to homeless families in need.
We’re proud of the ways Googlers came together to celebrate and we’re committed to diversity and cultural inclusion year-round, with a focus on closing the technology gap. Last year, our
FUSE,
CSSI,
BOLD and
BOLD Practicum summer programs brought hundreds of students from culturally diverse backgrounds to Google offices worldwide for summer internships. We hosted national pitch night for
The Technovation Challenge for girls. The BGN’s efforts to aid minority and low-income communities included its annual BGN New Orleans Outreach Trip, and we hosted speakers
Condoleezza Rice,
Alice Walker,
Belva Davis and
Soledad O’Brien among others. We have even more plans for promoting
diversity in 2012.
