Inclusion Statement

We believe that all families deserve the love and support of a community to thrive

The beauty and strength of our Medford community lies in its diversity. At the Medford Family Network, we believe that all families deserve the love and support of a community to thrive, regardless of race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, language, religion, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or family structure. A commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is core to achieving our mission, and we live these values through our programming, staffing, and concrete supports to the Medford community. 

We at the MFN recognize that the challenges and barriers to fully realizing our hopes and dreams for our children are not equally distributed. Therefore, we commit to: 

  • Actively working to counter unjust structures that disproportionately disadvantage some of our families;
  • Seeking out and deeply listening to the wisdom of our families; and
  • Building a community in which all Medford families belong and thrive.
