Foley & Lardner Announces National Partnership With Boys & Girls Club of America
Foley & Lardner LLP, an international law firm with 1,100 lawyers in 24 offices, together with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, is proud to announce today that it has signed a national partnership supporting the youth development organization’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, rooted in its commitment to promoting safe, positive and inclusive environments for all. Foley is the first law firm to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America on a national scale.
Together as partners and thought leaders, Foley and Boys & Girls Clubs of America will elevate the powerful message of diversity, equity and inclusion, and activate the potential of kids, Clubs and communities to build more inclusive and equitable futures.
Through Foley’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, the firm committed to provide outreach to the communities in which the firm practices, with a focus on providing support to advance equity for Black communities that have been historically under-resourced. All of Foley’s 21 offices across the United States will partner and engage with their local Clubs on initiatives that include mentoring, read-aloud programs, school supply drives and playground improvement projects.
This national partnership builds on and continues the work that Foley and Boys & Girls Clubs of America have been doing regionally together for the last few years.
Through this partnership with Foley, Boys & Girls Clubs of America will advance its diversity, equity and inclusion initiative, which offers inclusive and culturally relevant programs and resources that help nurture and elevate youth voices. The initiative includes a focus on racial equity as an imperative effort to reach its overall vision.
In addition to the direct work with the children, Foley also engages in pro bono work for Boys & Girls Clubs of America on legal matters, including human resources and employment, real estate and corporate non-profit issues that will allow local Clubs to offer more programs to a broader range of children.
