The ASCEND Collective is a community based effort to bring advocacy for and awareness to underserved talent. To help everyone understand the value these talented individuals bring to an organization and the community. To remove the barriers and bias in talent sourcing for career seekers and business development for founders. 

Everyone deserves the opportunity for employment that values them as a person, appreciates their skills and abilities, and provides them a path to success. Our differences are what make us stronger as a society; expanding and empowering us to maximize our potential as individuals and as a community. The ASCEND Collective is a collective voice for opportunity, elevating underserved talent with the tools to thrive.

We don’t just see potential—we invest in it.
