Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Covenant House Vancouver is a secular organization that welcomes and serves young people from all backgrounds. While the international federation to which we belong was founded in the 1970s by members of the Catholic Church, we are not aligned with any specific faith traditions.

Our approach to wellness and care focuses on mind, body, and spirit — which means different things for the youth we serve.

Covenant House Vancouver is committed to upholding diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplace. We value the perspectives of a full spectrum of experiences and ideas with the goal of protecting and safeguarding all youth in need. To best serve the diverse youth at CHV , we seek employees who will work respectfully and constructively with differences.

We actively encourage applications from members of groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity, including, but not limited to:

  • persons from groups marginalized due to race, socio-economic status, ancestry, colour, religion/spiritual beliefs, or place of origin
  • persons with visible and/or invisible disabilities
  • persons who identify as women
  • persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions
  • Indigenous persons

We recognize that many of these identities intersect and that therefore, diversity, equity, and inclusion can be complex. We value the contributions that each person brings and are committed to ensuring full and equal participation for all at Covenant House Vancouver.
