OUR DIVERSITY STATEMENT
We believe in communities where children, families and team members feel safe, respected, and comfortable being themselves and expressing all aspects of their identities – a place where each person shares a sense of belonging. We have worked with team members, clients, stakeholders and volunteers to create a diversity statement that defines our commitment to diversity, inclusion and equality.
- We partner for safe and healthy communities.
- We cultivate a culture in which children, families, team members, volunteers, donors, and community partners feel welcomed, safe, respected, empowered, and celebrated.
- We value diversity of race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin or citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, geographical location, pregnancy, disability, neurodiversity, socio-economic, and military status.
- We stand for anti-racism, equity, and inclusivity.
- We insist and affirm that discrimination and violence have no place in safe and healthy communities, including in our organization.
- We strive toward a more welcoming, inclusive, diverse, and equitable organization through our policies, partnerships, and practices.
