our Mission

The Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs

Our mission is to promote well-being and thriving for all Utahns.

We accomplish this by amplifying access, building bridges, and connecting communities.

Our Vision

Opportunity-building involves trying to understand and give people what they need to be able to enjoy full, healthy lives. It aims to promote access and fairness by addressing barriers that prevent people from equally thriving. It involves working in partnership with people and communities to understand gaps and develop solutions.
