Committed to Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity, inclusion, and equity apply to every aspect of Athena – from our members to our team to our coaches and our partners. We strive to be a community that supports women from all backgrounds, all abilities, all cultures. And, we’re dedicated to evaluating our efforts with transparency, and a desire to lead change from the front.
In our community
From the beginning, we made a commitment to ensure our membership reflected the demographics of society as a whole, with at least 37.6% of our members being women of color. Today, 39.5% of our members identify as women of color and 4% identify as LGBTQIA+.
Athena celebrates all the diversity in the communities we serve, from LGBTQ+, to people with disabilities, to military, and more. This is just the beginning.
