Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core pillars of the Jacksonville Jumbo shrimp's organizational mission. We continually strive to build an organization with associates from different backgrounds and with unique opinions and aspirations. Embracing such differences helps create the best version of ourselves, reflects our diverse fan base, and ultimately is the foundation from which we work to engrain ourselves in the fabric of our community and make a tangible difference on and off the field.  The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, age, and/or veteran status.
