RSVP Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Accessibility Statement

 

RSVP is devoted to developing and supporting education and wellness programs in the greater Philadelphia area. Our goal is to support every community member in need.

​

To improve the lives of vulnerable populations in our local communities, RSVP’s team embraces Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Accessibility (“DEIA”). DEIA enhances the connection with the communities we serve and allows our team to deliver skill-based volunteer programs with maximum impact. RSVP celebrates and supports uniqueness! Our staff, volunteers, and board of directors are committed to serving every member of our communities while fostering a welcoming environment.

​

Specifically, we are committed to:

​

• Increasing diversity in our team, including RSVP’s volunteers. Representation matters and we welcome everyone on our team and in our programs, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability and political perspective;

 

• Combatting and responding to bias, harassment, and discrimination; and

 

• Ensuring that our organization and communities are places where differences are welcomed, perspectives are respected, and everyone feels a sense of belonging and inclusion.
