Swampscott Unites, Respects, Embraces Diversity
Our Mission: To Celebrate all aspects of Human Diversity
Formed in 2016, S.U.R.E. Diversity is a volunteer community group that aspires to encourage, educate and collaborate in building a welcoming, nurturing, respectful and inclusive Swampscott community.
Diversity promotes that through understanding that each individual is unique, we can acknowledge and celebrate our individual and group differences. S.U.R.E. Diversity is committed to building individual and community cultural competency**skills and being a voice for promoting diversity and inherent equality for all.
** What is cultural competence? "Simply put it is the ability to understand, appreciate, and interact with people from cultures or belief systems different from one’s own." Resource: National Center for Cultural Competence, nccc.georgetown.edu
