             SNOCF’s Values & Vision Statement on Representation, Equity & Inclusion 

        The School Nurses of California Foundation believes that racism, prejudice, and discrimination harm all children, and have a profoundly negative effect on their school achievement, health, self-efficacy, and social-emotional growth.  As such, SNOCF is committed to supporting the health and educational needs of all students, regardless of race, culture, linguistic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, socioeconomic status, or disability.  
        SNOCF strives for representation, equity, and inclusion with all activities and programs to create equal opportunity for grants, research, professional development opportunities for school nurses, community partnerships, and other philanthropic efforts.  Additionally, SNOCF actively recruits and welcomes persons from all races, backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, ages, and abilities to its Board of Directors.
