The Karsh Family Social Service Center was founded with the mission to work toward a more equitable and just society to help repair the world. One of our core values is Respect for the Individual by providing respect, appreciation, and recognition for the feelings, wishes, rights, and cultural diversity of others. As a social service organization, we know that success comes from diversity across race, gender, age, religion, and identity within our organization, our partnerships, and those we serve. Karsh Center actively reflects diversity, equity, access, and inclusion in its organizational governance, volunteer structure, clientele, and staffing, valuing all backgrounds, roles, voices, and contributions. That includes a continuous internal dialogue and understanding among leadership and staff for what equity work means in the context of the Karsh Center and the community in which we work.
