Working at the Intersections
Roots of Inclusion works in the intersections of systems impacting youth to promote compassion, belonging and school and life success.
Land Acknowledgment
Roots of Inclusion works and resides on the traditional land of the Coast Salish Peoples. It is important that we understand the longstanding history that has brought us to reside on this land and acknowledge and honor the Indigenous Peoples past and present. We honor their connection to the region and recognize their struggles with systemic oppression.
We commit to care for the land and center equity at the core of our work.
