Celebrating Diversity

Courage Center believes that what makes us different makes us stronger. The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect.  It means understanding that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual differences of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs and political beliefs.  It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained in each client, staff member or volunteer.
