ABOUT US

OUR COMMITMENT

Southern Oregon Head Start (SOHS) is proud to employ staff and serve families and children with diverse backgrounds. We value and respect the uniqueness of each child, family, and staff member. In accordance with our Values, SOHS is committed to cultivating a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment, in which our staff, children, and families may thrive.

Student health and safety are the cornerstone of education, and all children and families who are engaged in SOHS programming are entitled to an educational experience that is free from discrimination, harassment, fear, hatred, racism, or violence. SOHS is committed to providing our families and staff the best support. We are committed to all the communities we serve and will continue learning and implementing new strategies to end racism and injustices. 

SOHS is committed to fostering anti-racism interactions for all children and families through these values. We will not abide by the status quo and stand by continuations of oppression. We stand for justice for all.

We strive to create an anti-bias and nurturing environment where children, families, and staff feel seen, heard, and acknowledged, and where they have a sense of belonging and a connection to their community.
