Skills For Hope Foundation’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is Strength

Skills For Hope Foundation is deeply committed to exemplifying and upholding principles of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) across all facets of our operations. These core values are not just words on paper, but are woven into the fabric of our organization and resonate throughout our vision, mission, governance, team, partnerships and programs.

We take pride in being an organization that not only acknowledges but actively embraces the rich tapestry of diversity among us. We believe diversity is a cornerstone of our strength, recognizing it as an invaluable asset that enriches and nurtures more effective teams, partnerships and programs, yielding greater positive impact for those we serve. Our understanding of diversity encompasses a broad spectrum, including differences in race, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability, heritage, nationality, educational background, familial status, sexual orientation, political beliefs, age, and socio-economic circumstances.

Equity for us, is not merely an abstract concept but a proactive process that ensures every individual has equitable opportunities to participate, contribute and thrive. Inclusion, likewise, is not just a buzzword but a lived value, characterized by genuine valuing, respecting, and actively encouraging the engagement of every member of the community. We are steadfast in our commitment to providing equal access to opportunities and resources for all, and ensuring that everyone regardless of background or identity is treated with respect and dignity.

Guided by these foundational principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, we pledge our unwavering commitment to continually uphold these values within all aspects of our operations and extend them to others with dedication and sincerity.
