Commitment To Diversity

Understanding and addressing the connection between institutional oppression and sexualized violence is fundamental to our work. RTS continuously develops programs and methods for overcoming the barriers to healing, support and participation in our agency that result from oppression.

San Mateo County is one of the most diverse communities in the U.S. today. This diversity provides RTS with an opportunity to have richness in participation and services that is unsurpassed. As RTS learns and grows, we are committed to weaving together agency structures, services, policies, practices, and philosophies, which forge an agency truly representative of our community.

RTS understands diversity to encompass many aspects of our individual and social experiences. Values, experiences, cultural practices, and language each contribute to the uniqueness in individuals and communities. At RTS, we believe in a world that embraces differences, values commonality, and nurtures the well-being of all members of our community.

RTS is proud of our work to be a diverse agency and is challenged to maintain progress in this area as we grow and change. RTS believes it is accountable to the community to ensure that it upholds the highest standards in action and philosophy to maintain an organization and services that are accessible to all people.
