Solid Ground believes poverty is solvable. Our communities are stronger when we support stability and break down the barriers to overcoming poverty. Solid Ground does both. We combine direct services with advocacy to meet basic needs, nurture success, and spread change. Through our programs, people gain stability and built skills that equip them to move forward in their lives. Through advocacy, we work toward ending racism and other oppressions embedded in our institutions, policies and culture that hold people back from succeeding. We bring the voices of people experiencing poverty into the political process, furthering social justice, and supporting our entire community to reach its potential. 

As our workforce evolves to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, our agency and workplace will be enriched and strengthened. As such, we will:

• Demonstrate the initiative to learn and enhance skills that promote anti-racism, cultural competency and an understanding of oppression and its impact.
