Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland’s is committed to promoting an
enriching and supportive climate that allows all staff, girls, and
members to thrive and succeed. Through our DEI education and
initiatives, we strive to create a workplace that reflects the
communities we serve and empowers all to live the Girl Scout Law to
the fullest. Our continued focus for diversity, equity, and inclusion
is critical to achieving the best programming for the Girl Scout
community today and in the future.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are core values of Girl Scouts of
Ohio’s Heartland. We aim to empower every Girl Scout to make the world
a better place. We acknowledge the impacts of systemic racism and
oppression, and we are committed to working together to build an
anti-oppressive society and continuing that journey within our own organization.
GSOH and Girl Scouts of the USA value diversity in all its forms and
do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion,
alienage or national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age,
disability, gender, marital status, familial status, veteran status,
sexual orientation, gender identification, gender expression, genetic
information, public assistance, local human rights commission
activity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal,
state, or local laws. Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland does not
tolerate discrimination by its staff, volunteers, members, partners,
or participants.
GSOH is committed to creating an environment where all girls can
participate in a movement that encourages them to overcome barriers
and become leaders in their community and world.
All GSOH staff, volunteers, and members are expected to think,
speak, and act in ways that ensure all people feel they belong and can
meaningfully participate in all aspects of Girl Scouting.
GSOH is committed to inclusion and will make reasonable efforts to
provide accessibility to Girl Scouts of all levels of abilities.
Being an ally is a verb not a noun. It is the commitment to a
lifelong journey of learning about and recognizing your privilege.
