Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy Statement​
The Presidio Neighborhood and Santa Barbara County more broadly has a rich history of diversity which continues to characterize our community. We celebrate that diversity as an intrinsic part of the American experience, a source of strength in our work, and for the cultivation of a vibrant community. We actively work towards inclusion as part of our organizational culture, and access to our sites and programs for the broadest possible public value.
