The Family Room is an organization that values diversity, equity and justice. We actively work to cultivate an environment that is inclusive of everyone who walks through our doors and toward building a community that respects each other's differences in color, language, economic status, sexual orientation and backgrounds. We work toward educating our staff to to be culturally aware, sensitive and to approach others from a place of compassion and understanding as best we can.
That being said, we still have not done enough to impact the systemic racism that negatively affects those with whom we work. We have not done enough to ensure that our leadership, our board of directors and our staff, reflect those who we serve. We have been actively developing a process to address the racism we see even within our walls. We are now committed to reviewing our mission and vision to better serve our community in these ways. We will search for staff and leadership that represent our families more accurately and we will commit to partner with other organizations to build a larger, more equitable community and combat racial injustices to help heal our community.
