At The ROCK Center, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to building strong, thriving communities. We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals—regardless of race, color, national origin (ancestry), gender, sexual orientation or expression, religion (creed), political affiliation, citizenship status, age, size, marital status, or disability—are respected, valued, and empowered to participate fully in our programs, partnerships, and leadership.

We acknowledge that hiring practices, access to services, and leadership opportunities have historically and systemically excluded entire communities, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are committed to actively working against these inequities by cultivating an inclusive, relationship-centered culture where historically marginalized voices are uplifted and celebrated.

Discrimination or harassment of any kind has no place in our organization. This commitment extends across all aspects of our work, including board membership, employment decisions, volunteer and intern selection, vendor partnerships, and the services we provide.

We strongly encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds and communities to engage with The ROCK Center—whether as staff, participants, or partners—as we work together to create spaces of belonging, justice, and opportunity for all.
