Proven invaluable to the charity organizations in my network
"This course has proven invaluable to the charity organizations in my network. While volunteers are almost universally civic-minded people, having some of the finer points spelled out (such as the differences between discrimination, harassment, and bullying) has proven eye-opening. I also like how the focus was not just on compliance, but also on how Diversity & Inclusion is beneficial to charitable organizations as a whole."

A great way to stay current
"As a retired professional who is committed to volunteer efforts to utilize my past skills, I find the courses created by the Canadian Diversity Initiative are a great way to stay current with changing requirements related to human interaction. The world is changing very quickly and so must we volunteers related to our understanding of diversity and inclusion!"
