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.

Exciting Announcement to Share!!
The School Nurses of California Foundation, in partnership with researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), recently received a grant through the "Campus-Community Research Incubator Program" at UCI. The purpose of this collaborative research project between SNOCF and UCI will be to describe the impact of COVID-19 on California school nurses and school health services.
In order to mirror the range of diversity within school nursing services in California, the project team is now actively recruiting participants from all six regional sections of the California School Nurses Organization (CSNO) to reflect the variation of the role and responsibilities of school nurses, the provision of school health services, and the needs and resources of local communities.
