What We Do
Promoting Fairness: Where You Learn and Where You Work
Level Playing Field Institute is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization which promotes innovative approaches to fairness in education, the workplace, and society-at-large.
We help to reveal and remove the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from achieving all they can achieve. These barriers include blatant and obvious obstacles, as well as those that are hidden and unconscious. Our work centers on the following key areas:
How We Do It
In all of the work that we do, we seek to change the tone of the conversation about equality and advancement in America from adversarial and legalistic to collaborative. By moving beyond the legal framework of discrimination and harassment to the broader — perhaps more difficult — issues of fairness, subtle bias, and stereotyping, we hope to spark a new and open dialogue about what is truly happening in the educational system and in our workplaces. By changing the tone and shifting the focus, it is our belief that this new dialogue will play a critical role in revealing and removing the hidden barriers, or subtle obstacles, to education and workplace equality.
