Let’s build belonging together

The Center envisions a Utah in which all of our residents experience a sense of belonging and access to opportunity so they can contribute their whole selves to the growth and enhancement of the economic, social, and political life of our state. When we have opportunity for all, we can create the kind of state in which everyone can and should thrive.

Belonging unlocks our collective potential

When Utahns belong – when they believe they are valued and are able to contribute their whole selves to their workplaces and communities – our entire state flourishes.

We create space for community, businesses, government, and philanthropic leaders to align strategic decisions with community wisdom.
