Our Nondiscrimination and Inclusion Policy
The SonderNest Collective is committed to providing equitable, accessible, and trauma-informed support to every individual and family we serve. We believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, particularly during moments of crisis or major transition. Our policies, programs, and services are grounded in the values of inclusivity, cultural humility, and community care.
SonderNest does not discriminate in the provision of services, access to programs, volunteer opportunities, hiring practices, or organizational activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, faith tradition, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, marital or family status, immigration status, pregnancy, veteran status, or socioeconomic status. We welcome and support all individuals regardless of background or circumstance.
We recognize that many families seeking assistance are experiencing heightened stress, trauma, or instability. Our team provides support with a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes emotional safety, choice, empowerment, and trust. We respect each family’s lived experience and autonomy, and we will never require disclosure of personal information beyond what is necessary to offer appropriate support.
SonderNest Collective is committed to building an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. We continually strive to learn, grow, and adapt our practices so that our services remain equitable, compassionate, and responsive to the evolving needs of our community.
