Former Department of Education Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer Joins AmeriCorps
Benjamin is AmeriCorps’ first chief diversity & inclusion officer. He joins AmeriCorps from the Department of Education, where he was deputy chief human capital officer and worked as a change strategist and executive leader for the agency’s operational functions. Benjamin was also the managing executive for the department’s diversity, equity and inclusion program and led the agency’s Diversity and Inclusion Council.
Benjamin previously was appointed human capital director and deputy chief human capital officer at the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, during the Obama-Biden Administration. He directed the agency’s human capital strategy, workforce development and employee engagement initiatives, and directed the diversity and inclusion plan. Benjamin was also the deputy human resources officer for the T Family Bureaus at the U.S. Department of State. He led the civil service staff for three bureaus supporting its arms control and international security missions.
Over a 22-year career, Benjamin has served as a noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force, a civil servant for the Department of Defense and an adjunct instructor for several institutions of higher learning. Benjamin is a certified professional coach and executively trained in strategic diversity, equity and inclusion management through Georgetown University.
“Nate is a life-long public servant with a wealth of experience from military service to diversity initiatives under two administrations,” said Michael D. Smith, AmeriCorps CEO. “As a part of President Biden’s equity plan, AmeriCorps remains focused on eliminating racial inequity and promoting equal treatment to all within the AmeriCorps family. I am confident that Nate’s expertise will help AmeriCorps strengthen equity in national service to make a lasting impact for years to come.”
“I am honored to join AmeriCorps’ diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility team as the first chief diversity and inclusion officer,” said Nathaniel Benjamin, AmeriCorps CDIO. “I will use my experience to address barriers to service and inequalities in communities, particularly underserved communities, across the nation. I look forward to working with AmeriCorps and the greater national service community to further equity for all staff, members, volunteers, partners and communities alike.”
