SWIF’s vision is to maximize an individual’s personal and economic potential through education and training.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
Sisters Walking In Freedom seeks to improve the quality of life for all staff, volunteers, persons served, and individuals that come into contact with our organization. We expect to achieve these goals by educating and training our staff and volunteers on the dynamics of our growing and culturally diverse community. Through this commitment, we will foster a culture that encourages empathy, awareness, compassion, and ability to interact with others who are different from ourselves with dignity, respect, patience, and understanding. Embracing diversity enlivens creativity, acceptance, tolerance, and innovation. We respect, value and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make each person who they are.
