Our Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism, Access and Leadership
Mediation and Restorative Services’ drive to facilitate a more equitable world through it’s work, centers on its inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, access and leadership’s community social responsibility commitments. True to our mission, we utilize our IDEAAL perspective, that holistically encompasses unique life experiences, exposures of the individuals and communities we serve and that make up our staff and team of volunteers. By fostering an environment that embraces diverse perspectives, racial/ethnic and cultural backgrounds, expressions, educational experiences, socio-economic status, and exposures in life, we provide everyone a platform to actualize their potential, give back to their communities, live their dreams and contribute to diverse perspectives innovatively. Our programs and services are designed with these perspectives at the core, ensuring that we are capturing every story, sparking the right conversations, catalyzing and contributing to the needed change in the community, system and industry.
