8. What steps do you plan to take during the grant period to strengthen your commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion? *Provide any documentation, policies, and/or procedures that demonstrate this commitment.

During the grant period, our organization will facilitate several workshops and presentations that will address diversity, equity, and inclusion. First, all staff members will report to a mandatory presentation that addresses diversity in helping careers. This presentation will be an in-depth explanation of what it means to work with diverse populations in the helping profession. We understand that although our target population consists of seniors/retirees they may come from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The next step in our plan is to facilitate a four-part series workshop which will cover diversity, equity, inclusion, policies and procedures, and the mission/vision statement of the organization. Finally, on the last day of the four-part series all staff will complete a knowledge check covering the information provided in the presentation and the workshop. The staff will complete an evaluation assessing the content and information provided in the workshop.
