Mission Driven
Through the years, our mission has not changed, just the populations of people we serve. ISS has worked tirelessly to find child-centered, durable solutions through cross-border family reunification of American and non-American children separated from their families between the U.S. and over 100 countries around the globe.
Equity Statement
ISS-USA is committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging and Justice (DEIBJ). We respect and value the different experiences of systematically excluded peoples and acknowledge their many contributions to our field. We aim to promote and center the voices and perspectives of historically underrepresented groups, both internally and externally, in our efforts to challenge structural oppression.
ISS-USA strives to ensure that all involved with ISS-USA represent the diversity of the people we serve, and that all are treated with dignity, kindness and compassion. We will continue to foster an inclusive environment where accountability around DEIBJ can thrive. We will work to create equitable access to opportunities and resources for internal and external stakeholders involved in the work of ISS-USA.
