Disability Pride Month

Disability Pride Month in July is our chance to gather as a team to celebrate and embrace our Target team members with disabilities by educating ourselves about their lived experiences.

Disability & Mental Health Business Council

To truly live out our joyful purpose, we offer our team members a place to feel connected and included. The Disability & Mental Health Business Council (DMHBC) is one of seven Diversity and Inclusion Business Councils at Target, and it provides a supportive community for our team, along with resources aimed at eliminating barriers and stigma. DMHBC members also play a critical advisory role, helping to ensure that our products, services and marketing reflect the communities we serve. 

Our commitment to accessibility

We love creating joyful moments that all of our guests can enjoy. That means designing each experience in our stores and online to be easy to access and shop. Learn more about the steps we're taking to accomplish that goal. 

Design for all

Target offers guests curated lines of clothing and home products designed with, and for, guests with different abilities, with more than 200 unique sensory friendly and adaptive products available.   

Meet a few of our partners

Target’s relationship with Oakland, California-based nonprofit Creative Growth goes way back. Their mission: to provide artists with disabilities invaluable resources like a professional studio environment for artistic development, gallery exhibitions and representation. Over the years, Target has featured some of those artists' work on our products and in stores, and we continue to sponsor the organization's annual Beyond Trend Runway Event + Fundraiser to help create even more opportunities. 

As a member of the National Organization on Disability’s Corporate Leadership Council, Target continues to learn and find new, innovative ways to eliminate barriers for our guests and team members with disabilities. We’ve also been recognized as a Leading Disability Employer on their Disability Employment Tracker. 

Good to know

Target is among seven retailers that received the highest possible score on the 2021 Disability Equality Index, earning us the distinction of “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”  

Target CEO Brian Cornell also joined hundreds of leaders in signing on to Disability:IN's CEO to CEO letter to advance disability inclusion.

It’s our goal at Target to always make sure we have products that fit our guests’ needs, and all at a reasonable price point. We heard from our guests—and members of our own team—that there’s a need for adaptive clothing for kids that is both fashionable and affordable, so we set out to create exactly that.
