Facebook’s Civil Rights Audit • Align Program: Facebook is sponsoring Northeastern University’s Align Program, which helps noncomputer science graduates, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups, change careers to transition to computer science. • Co-Teaching AI: Facebook’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) team has partnered with Georgia Tech to co-create and co-teach an AI course designed to help diversify exposure to the AI field. • Above & Beyond CS Program: A 10-week program designed for college juniors and seniors from underrepresented groups to help prepare students in computer science fields for the technical interviews that are an integral part of the hiring process for these jobs. • CodeFWD: Facebook provides a free online program to educators and non-profit organizations designed to allow them to introduce students in grades 4 through 8 to computer programming. After completing the program, the educators and organizations can apply to receive additional resources like programmable robots to provide further coding opportunities to their students. • TechPrep: Facebook provides a free online resource hub (in English, Spanish, and Portuguese) to help students ages 8-25 and their parents or guardians learn what computer science is, what jobs are available to computer programmers, and how to get started learning to code. (ii) Inclusive Programming. The goal of Facebook’s inclusion efforts is to ensure Facebook employees — especially members of underrepresented groups — feel seen, heard, and valued. These initiatives range from community-building opportunities and resources to trainings and tools for managing or addressing bias and promoting inclusion. Facebook’s community building opportunities and resources include: • Facebook Resource Groups (FBRGs): These are inclusive groups that anyone who works at Facebook can join, which are focused on underrepresented and marginalized communities, and provide professional development, community support, and opportunities to build connections with other group members and engage on important issues. • Community Summits: Facebook also supports its underrepresented workforce through annual gatherings or community summits that bring together people who work at Facebook across the globe and provide a forum for various communities to gather, share and grow. Facebook has also developed and deployed a number of trainings intended to advance its inclusion goals. These include its Managing Bias and Managing Inclusion trainings, which provide tools and practical skills designed to help limit the impact of biases (including unconscious ones) and promote inclusion within teams and in dayto-day interactions, and a “Be the Ally” training, which provides guidance to help employees support each other and take steps to counteract examples of exclusion or bias they observe. Additional guidance in this area is included in the onboarding training managers undergo as well as Facebook’s Managing a Respectful Workplace 66
