The North Grove's Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to ensuring The North Grove is an inclusive space, where everyone is welcome.
We know our organization and our work is strengthened by recognizing and valuing all the identities, perspectives and experiences that are part of The North Grove and the broader community.
We know that there is much for us to learn as individuals, as a community, and as an organization. We are committed to listening, learning, and taking action against all forms of discrimination and the inequitable systems that keep people in poverty.
