Better Basics is committed to establishing and cultivating an inclusive and equitable culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees, volunteers, and those in the communities we serve. In our fight to eradicate illiteracy in Central Alabama, we are united as one organization and are committed to embracing the unique perspectives of each of our constituents to share and explore creative solutions to succeed in our mission and actualize our vision for the children in our communities. We actively seek volunteers, instructors, and staff from all walks of life, regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability status, ethnicity, and nationality, to join us in our battle to dismantle any educational barrier that stands in the way of a child from learning and ultimately attaining reading and math proficiency to achieve in school and the workplace, excel in life, and improve Alabama.
