Head Start of Lane County Diversity-Equity Statement
We endeavor to create an environment that values all people of any ability, age, family structure, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or socioeconomic status. We strive to create this environment through our curriculum, interactions, staffing, policies and procedures.
As staff and volunteers of HSOLC, we accept the responsibility to help every member of our program feel safe, respected and valued. We will foster a safe environment that promotes inclusion and equitable learning environments with a heart for sensitivity, a head for critical thinking and a hand in change. The Diversity/Equity Committee will explore and discuss issues of equity and diversity at HSOLC as they relate to the agency’s leadership, community, and services. An inclusive environment will encourage all employees and families to contribute their perspectives and capabilities.
