Inclusion and Diversity Policy

Shepherd’s Center-Beachside is committed to creating a community culture that supports and encourages diversity. We believe that capitalizing on each person’s strengths, based on his or her uniqueness and life experiences, enhances our network, our services, and our communities. 

Our policy of diversity and inclusion asserts that Shepherd’s Center-Beachside 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 or socio-economic status, with regard to participation in its programs, services, activities, employment, volunteers and vendors.

Shepherd’s Center respects the privacy and personal beliefs of all volunteers and its constituents. Shepherd’s Center does not permit the proselytizing by one faith community for members of another or the maligning of any person’s faith.  We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our staff, clients, volunteers, subcontractors, vendors, and clients.
