Black Initiative Network (BIN)
To improve hiring, retention, career advancement, professional development and social impact for underserved communities.
Events
We're always getting the Upwork community involved with the Black Initiative Network through fun events celebrating Black history, from our Juneteenth celebration to Black History Month. We also have social events for the group to build a shared community and safe space so everyone feels supported.
Professional Development
Our group is committed to helping our members with their professional development, so we attend conferences like AfroTech, organize networking events, and partner with Black ERGs from other organizations to enable our members to grow their circles.
Community Outreach
We want to empower not only our employees, but people outside the Upwork community, so we do outreach, speaking at high schools, mentoring students, and helping them with their interviewing skills.
