The Office of Diversity and Inclusion is committed to providing equal economic opportunity for all Jersey City residents. We work with city departments and community partners to empower residents through business and workforce development opportunities. As the country’s most diverse city, Jersey City is truly a melting pot of nations, ethnic groups and cultural traditions. Jersey City, known as the “Golden Gate” of New Jersey, is the gateway for those who pass by the Statue of Liberty and step onto our shores via Ellis Island. Linguistic diversity also distinguishes Jersey City, with 72 different languages spoken in the city’s schools. We invite you to explore the variety of services we offer to meet the many needs of our diverse community.
