Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy
The Shepherd’s Center of Northern Virginia (SCNOVA) is committed to creating a community culture that supports and encourages diversity within all aspects of our organization. We believe that capitalizing on the diversity of individuals’ strengths, based on their unique backgrounds, perspectives and life experiences, enhances our organization, our services, and our communities. Promoting and upholding this policy strengthens our mission and vision.
Our policy of diversity and intentional inclusion of all asserts that SCNOVA does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender expression, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, military, political affiliation, or socio-economic status, with regard to participation in its programs, services, activities, employment, and volunteer opportunities. All are welcome.
SCNOVA respects the privacy and personal beliefs of its constituents and stakeholders. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for our affiliates, partners, staff, participants, clients, and volunteers.
December 3, 2024, we ask you to please keep the Shepherd’s Center of Northern Virginia in mind. As a non-profit we rely solely upon the support of community partners, grants and donations. To put your generosity into perspective, remember this, our funds go to enriching the lives of older adults in the communities we serve.
