As an equal opportunity employer, Southface is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and will continue to seek out learning opportunities that help foster a more inclusive environment. We value bringing together people with different experiences, perspectives, and expertise. Through our values and core beliefs, Southface is an inclusive organization where everyone is encouraged to speak freely and feel safe. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, nonbinary people, LGBTQ+, and disabled people are strongly encouraged to apply. We hold these same principles of inclusivity and diversity for recruitment and retention of our Board of Directors and actively work, through our Governance Committee, to achieve these goals. At Southface, we believe our diversity makes us stronger and want our workforce and Board of Directors to reflect the communities we serve. Our community is one of strength, resilience, and vision, and we look forward to the opportunities to come together, support each other and help our homes, workplaces, and communities become places of opportunity.

At Southface, we recognize the historic and ongoing disparities that exist for individuals who desire to live, work, and play in environments that are safe and healthy. Within the communities we serve and as part of the global effort to build a better tomorrow, we know that solidarity is what will move us all forward. We work to ensure that sustainable homes, workplaces, and communities are not reserved for those with wealth and privilege but accessible to all.
