Equal Employment Opportunity is a concept that is rooted in the idea of creating an environment where each individual can fully participate in the activities of an organization to his or her greatest ability without facing unnecessary obstacles. Goddard Space Flight Center is committed to equal opportunity and appreciation of diversity through policies, programs and activities that promote sensitivity and accommodations for all people.
"The strength at the core of a diverse workforce, is each individual's unique, yet equal, opportunity to succeed."
