DEIJ STATEMENT
The ICF Global Board of Directors approved the ICF Statement of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice in July 2020. Staff and volunteer leaders from ICF’s six family organizations subsequently cosigned the statement. This statement of principles reflects a position we subscribe to as an accredited provider. Additionally, we:
- We value, promote, and appreciate diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from our staff/ team to our participants. We define diversity to mean the unique combination of various dimensions that makes each of us different from and like others. Those dimensions can include, but are not limited to, abilities, age, gender, ethnic heritage, culture, sexual orientation, values, religion, income, family status, education, and geographic location.
- We aim to create equity in our programs, by:
- Creating equal access to our programs through flexible enrollment and orientation processes
- Committing to modeling and developing culturally competent coaches
- Facilitating learning that accommodates different learning styles
- Giving participants a voice in sharing what is working and deltas to make the experience even better
- As members of the ICF community, we ascribe to the core values of integrity, excellence, collaboration, and respect.
- We also focus our efforts on inclusion and belonging (in-person or virtual)
- With each other and our staff, we encourage and foster opportunities for participants to interact to know and be known
- We model psychological safety to create a safe space for participants to bring their fullest selves into the room. Through creating relatedness and fairness, our participants increase a sense of belonging that lasts even after they have graduated from our programs.
