bend fc Equity and inclusion statement

Bend FC is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture through its programming and community networks. We aim to support and sustain foundations of inclusivity across various dimensions such as age, race, sex, class, creed, educational background, religion, gender identity, disability, gender expression, geographical location, income, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, work experiences, and other factors.

Our comprehensive programming and education efforts also focus on promoting equitable laws and practices, creating more opportunities for individuals from historically underrepresented groups to engage in club soccer, and cultivating inclusive leadership within club soccer programs.

Bend FC is committed to practicing principles of diversity, inclusion, access, and equity. We encourage all administrators, coaches, members, officials, spectators, and athletes to embrace these principles. It is only by fostering and promoting diversity and inclusion that we as a soccer community will achieve excellence in advancing youth soccer, kindness, and community here in Central Oregon.
