Diversity Statement

The American Film Institute (AFI) believes that a diverse workforce, management team and governing body are essential to its understanding and appreciation of the Los Angeles community, the greater American experience and our ability to provide a rich and rewarding educational and employment environment. AFI endeavors to recruit from an expansive pool of candidates, enabling the Institute to engage individuals with a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, personal experiences and expertise.

AFI does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizen status, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, military or veteran status, genetic information or any other characteristics protected by law, and all members of the community are treated with dignity and respect. In addition, AFI will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified applicants and employees with disabilities. If a reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, please contact [email protected].

AFI is committed to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and will continue to explore opportunities for diversity, as well as monitoring the Institute’s success to meet this goal.
