First at Bain
First at Bain
First at Bain (First) is a community for Bain professionals who are the first in their family to attend college, do not have a four-year degree, or identify with the experience of growing up in a lower socio-economic household. Our efforts focus on building connection and community and creating a culture where everyone feels valued, empowered, and inspired.
A core piece of our commitment to Diverse Teams, One Bain
Bain has been investing in diverse and inclusive teams since our founding. Our earliest affinity groups started informally over 30 years ago and since then we have expanded into a wide range of activities and events to create a culture of inclusion where every Bainie can thrive.
First at Bain provides members a space to form meaningful relationships, drive connectivity, and build community.
"First at Bain is a safe space to ask any question. It’s a place where other people have the same questions and same experiences."
