Cultural Competency
& Outreach
Our Philosophy
Cultural Competency
We believe the key to becoming more culturally competent is to respect the ways others live in and organize the world, and show a willingness to learn from them.
Inclusion
We believe the key to inclusion is beyond welcoming every culture – it’s a matter of ensuring every individual feels a true sense of belonging.
Recruitment
& Retention
One of our goals is to recruit and retain high quality staff that reflect the children and families we serve. We assess our agency’s representation of marginalized populations on a regular basis to help us identify opportunities for and barriers to increased diversity and inclusion of our staff.
