We believe in the power of diversity, equity and inclusion.

• We recognize that mission driven organizations face critical challenges - systemic racism, disparities in access to opportunities and the inequitable distribution of resources. 

• We are all in different places on the journey toward greater diversity, equity, and inclusion, and may even be on different paths. These differences create opportunities for us to learn from each other, moving us closer to an equitable community.

• We engage with our clients in an intentional effort to break down racism, both immediate and systemic barriers, and to create and sustain equitable outcomes.

• We recognize that BIPOC and people with marginalized identities are asked to take on the struggle for social justice in ways that are unfair. We believe that those with dominant identities must commit to shouldering a disproportionate share of this work.

• We acknowledge, encourage, and prioritize a continual reexamination of our policies, practices, behaviors, and attitudes – both within SCC and within our clients’ organizations.
