Standing Up to Racism

Standing Up to Racism

In Girl Scouts we build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

Since our founding more than 110 years ago, Girl Scouts has been, and will continue to be, an organization rooted in activism and advocacy— ultimately making the world a better place.

At Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, we commit to doing all we can by using our collective power to help create the change in our communities that is long overdue. We will do our part to dismantle systemic racism.

Our Commitment

We commit to the ongoing accountability, transparency, and organizational changes this work will require in the following areas as identified in our most recent board-adopted strategic plan: (link this)

Leadership. We will continue to engage a variety of voices through our staff diversity advisory teams. We will continue to recruit and retain ethnically and racially diverse board members. We will examine all Girl Scouts of Central Indiana policies, procedures, practices, and programming through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Staff. We recognize that change starts from within, so at Girl Scouts of Central Indiana we commit to strengthening our hiring practices, so our team reflects the faces of the girls and adults we serve.

Volunteers. The strength of our organization rests among our more than 9,000 volunteers. We will provide additional resources, training, and support to ensure these mentors of girls are equipped to serve all girls equitably and to confront all racism or bias.

Girls. All girls’ voices must be heard.

· We will provide all girls a place where they feel heard, and where they have the resources and the support they need to raise their voices and change their corner of the world.

· We will continue to add new programs and grow community relationships for girl education that represents various perspectives and implicit training.

We commit to continuing to offer financial assistance to reduce barriers to Girl Scout program for all girls.

· We will bring diverse troops of girls and volunteers to learn from each other about how to build female leadership in inclusive environments.

· Will review the data and research about the changing demographics of central Indiana to ensure programming and recruitment efforts remain relevant.
