YWCA HIGH POINT COMMUNITY BUILDERS
2022 DEI Index: Guilford County
This DEI Index is the result of a collaboration among a variety of organizations, including the Community Builders Task Force of the YWCA of High Point and the Guilford Non-Profit Consortium, who wanted to create a community-wide benchmark.
The DEI Index is not about any individual non-profit. All organizational information is confidential. The survey collects organization data to create an aggregate number that reflects our entire community. Our goal is that this benchmark index encourages all of our non-profits to do better and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion!
The survey regularly refers to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This means the work organizations do to acknowledge the wide differences in humans, including (but not limited to) gender, race, ethnicity, ability, religion, age, and sexual orientation.
DEI work holds that acknowledging differences is just the first step. Organizations should also find ways to reduce the barriers that prevent the full diversity of people from being included and successful.
When this survey refers to DEI training, it refers to programs that do things like: help people understand bias (racial, gender, etc.), educate about systemic barriers to inclusion, offer ways of creating more inclusive and equitable workplaces or communities, etc.
The survey was sent to all non-profits associated with the Guilford Non-Profit Consortium in April 2022. After several reminder emails, the survey was closed in early May 2022. Fifty organizations completed the consent form and entered the survey. The following data is based on their responses.
In some places, there are comparisons to a 2021 survey, which Community Builders also fielded. The 2021 survey was completed by 18 non-profits, exclusively in High Point. The two surveys are not a 1-to-1 comparison but two moments in time for two different population sets, but they both show how non-profits in the county responded to the same questions.

YWCA HIGH POINT COMMUNITY BUILDERS
The YWCA has provided opportunities, programs, and support that is specific to my needs.
I’ve never been to an organization that is more accommodating and friendlier than the YWCA of High Point.
Good swimming, good fitness, good friends.
It’s convenient, has a great atmosphere, and a great selection of programs for the amount of pay.
The YWCA is that place that is like a third home to me. The people are super friendly, super welcoming, and super caring. That is what really makes the YWCA a place I love to be.
Everyone I’ve come in contact with at the YWCA is genuinely nice and helpful. They are attentive to my needs and I always feel comfortable at the YWCA.
Along with the calm and pleasant atmosphere, the YWCA’s fitness programs that are offered have improved my overall health.
I only have the highest things to say about the YWCA. The facilities and programs have met the specific needs of my wife and I and the people know us by name. Overall, it has been a great fit for us.
The YWCA is convenient for me and my schedule. They are always consistent in their programs and always hospitable.
I appreciate the reliability and availability of their programs and amenities.
