Merrick Community Services (MCS) recognizes the reality of historically marginalized and socioeconomically disadvantaged persons are the result of systemic and institutional racism and other biases. MCS believes racism and other forms of discrimination have no place in our society. Therefore, we commit to being a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization, where all participants, staff, volunteers, and partners feel valued and respected and experience a sense of belonging, regardless of their gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, citizenship status, age, sexual orientation, education, or disability (seen and unseen).
We embrace an equitable and nondiscriminatory approach with our programs and services and provide equal opportunity for employment and advancement. We respect, value, and celebrate diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure a safe place so that all are valued and heard.
