Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant On

Introduction and Context
Girl Guides of Canada (GGC) was created with faith-based concepts that provided programming for young girls and women. Many of the traditions and values of the organization correspond with that. The organization has a large volunteer following that delivers the program across the country. GGC also has approximately 200 staff who support the volunteers in delivering the mission, vision, and values. In 2010, Girl Guides of Canada decided that due to the ever-changing global landscape, the organization would become secular. This meant an immediate change from practices and traditions that were ingrained in the culture of the organization.
This change was determined by the board of directors, implemented by staff, and delivered by volunteers. The priority for the organization was building inclusion and diversifying membership. The change management process that occurred was quick. This meant that there was limited time for volunteers and staff to have a concise and uniformed approach to secularism in GGC.
In 2018, GGC decided to clarify its approaches to secularism through a lens of inclusion and diversity. This meant the creation of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department within the organization. The purpose of this department was to help implement strategies and help the organization further it’s renowned path.
Currently, the challenge of identifying what it means to be a secular organization has repeatedly come up from members, staff, and volunteers. We have recognized the need for clarification is pertinent to the continued work of diversity, equity, and inclusion that GGC is trying to do.
Objectives
- Define secularism for Girl Guides of Canada
- Identify and create additional resources as required
- Establish change management process for embedding secularism to
members, staff, and volunteers
- Establish parameters for secularism for long term sustainability
The Proposal
