Mission
Village Support Network (VSN) empowers developing
and vulnerable Villages by offering tailored operational
support to ensure sustainable growth and success.
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Village Support Network (VSN) is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone involved in our mission. We align our efforts with a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), embracing the unique qualities of our workforce, volunteers, members, partners, and donors to reflect the rich diversity of the communities we serve.
At VSN, DEI means valuing diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, races, ethnicities, gender identities, ages, sexual orientations, and cultures. We serve and welcome all, working together to bring help and hope to those in need.
We ensure that our volunteers and members reflect diverse talent and are transparent about our progress in achieving our DEI goals. We champion equal opportunity for all, cultivating a safe and respectful environment free from harassment, intimidation, and discrimination. Our goal is to create a culture of belonging that values all talents and perspectives, while focusing on delivering services that meet the needs of the diverse communities we serve.
