Creating an inclusive community
DIGIVATIONS uses the power of science, exploration, arts, education and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.
Our mission is only complete when our staff, explorers, educators, youth and partners are seen, valued, and heard. We embrace each person’s identity, experiences, and abilities, and we commit to cultivating an environment where everyone benefits from opportunity, mutual respect and a sense of belonging.
We are committed to cultivating an environment that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion for our staff, explorers and educators and partners. All of DIGIVATIONS’ academies, camps and programs which have taught more than 5,000 students and 2,000 formal and informal educators have been grounded in inclusivity and equity since their inception more than 10 years ago.
Our Overnight programs were initially founded based on our son’s, Jacob’s, principles of “providing an inclusive environment where everyone would be safe in sharing their ideas and interests, as well as gender identity, as one positive extended family.”
Our expansion from the Pacific Northwest is based on the Camp’s initial mission, belief and promise that the inspirational camp founder, 9 year old Jacob Berman, now a first year student at Cornell University, held, along with his parents Drs. Berman, similar to the values of Rick Riordans’ Famous Camp Half-Blood demigod world. Associate Director, Jacob said, “youth need a safe and positive environment where they feel they belong and are accepted without the pressures of cliques and discrimination often experienced in school. Providing an inclusive community where everyone can feel like a family is as vital today as it was ten years ago.” These beliefs are consistent with the Berman’s Family founded 501(c)(3) educational non-profit’s primary mission of “Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators, and Fostering Future Mentors and Thoughtful Leaders Enabling Positive Social Change.” With this framework, DIGIVATIONS is expanding to Upstate NY from WA State and BC, Canada in response to requests from its many thousands of global students, alumni, parents and educators over the past decade.
