VIP Ignite Live | Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

VIP Ignite Live Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We stand against systemic racism, police brutality, and all acts of prejudice or violence targeting any group of people in our society and communities.

We believe in the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize that holding these beliefs is not enough, therefore we commit to visible and deliberate action with these steps:

Our team has come together to develop our initial commitments to action:

1) We Will Use Our Platform For Change

VIP IGNITE was founded on the belief that protecting vulnerable children should be a top priority. We have committed 20% of our resources to leading the global fight against child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Learn about Operation Underground Railroad:

We go to the darkest places to rescue enslaved children and ensure their ongoing care, while providing cutting-edge tools to U.S. law enforcement and strengthening preventative efforts for at-risk youth worldwide. We will persist in bringing light to these dark places until every child is protected.

Our goal is to show that the entertainment industry cares, so that young people pursuing their dreams are not victimized by online predators. We want to send a message that they are not alone in this fight. By banding together, we can end child exploitation.

2) We Will Amplify Diverse Instructor Voices

Representation matters. Our instructor roster will exceed the diversity of our society. These voices will be consistently represented in each of our subject categories. Our goal is to achieve this representation through the next 200 instructors we bring to the platform.

3) We Will Help Build The Inclusive World That We Wish To Inhabit

We will develop and invest in additional strategies to build a diverse workplace, one that is consistent with the diversity of the countries where we are based.

4) We Will Add Our Support To Causes That Champion Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion

We have committed up to $100,000 a year for donations and donation matching, directed by our employees, to individuals and organizations that are committed to supporting and advancing causes that will build a more equitable society.

5) We Will Create A Company Culture That Further Nourishes Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion

We will hire dedicated resources to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion to support our employees and our broader team's efforts in this area.

6) We Will Ensure The Voices Of Everyone On Our Team Can Be Heard

We commit to giving our team a full day off for state and federal elections - to ensure they have the time to cast their votes and help others do the same.

This is a journey. We will measure and review progress every quarter with our team, and review funding annually. We will continue to grow and add to these responsibilities. More importantly, we will continue to challenge ourselves to lead and drive change.
