Guides & Workshops

This Tool Kit can assist community organizations in becoming more equitable, diverse and inclusive. It is targeted especially for smaller community groups and organizations. Its purpose is to support diversity and improve inclusion within small to mid-sized, volunteer-based, not-for-profit organizations. It provides a foundation for community organizations to develop a “critical lens” that will allow them to reflect on their organization’s current position and respond effectively to ensure that they reflect local demographics. It includes:

• Concrete suggestions for getting started regardless of organizational capacity;
• A self-assessment tool to examine current policies, procedures and/or structures;
• A step-by-step process and action plan for designing an organizational change process to increase inclusion;
• Tips on implementing and evaluating the action plan;
• Indicators for measuring success; and
• A list of resources and contacts for further assistance.
