Senate Democratic Diversity Initiative

The Senate Democratic Diversity Initiative is a component of the Leadership Office of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, which assists Senate Democratic offices in building a diverse workforce. The Initiative was created in 2007 to develop a Senate staff who reflect the diversity of our Nation and are demographically representative of the constituents they serve. To accomplish the goal of a more diverse and inclusive workforce, the Diversity Initiative maintains and manages a resume bank of candidates for positions at all levels, recommends candidates to Caucus offices filling vacancies as part of the office's talent acquisition program, conducts informational interviews, resume reviews, and mock interviews for aspiring Hill staffers, develops customized strategies and timelines for aspiring Hill staff while they navigate the hiring process, and organizes seminars, professional development forums, and networking opportunities for aspiring Hill staffers, current staff, and Hill alumni. Use the Senate Diversity Initiative Resume Bank link on the page to submit your resume. For more information, email Diversity_Initiative@schumer.senate.gov.
