What does ACIC mean in COMMUNITY

The Advisory Commission for an Inclusive Community (ACIC) is a volunteer advisory board at a local level dedicated to fostering an equitable and inclusive community for all. This board works with government, organizations and individuals to identify ways to reduce bias and discrimination in our community. The ACIC strives to promote knowledge of diverse cultures, beliefs and values to create a safe, respectful environment that strengthens relationships within the community.

The ACIC develops initiatives that seek to reduce and prevent discrimination, promote inclusion, foster understanding between different cultures, bring people together across differences, advocate for equitable opportunities in all areas of life and create a more equitable society. These initiatives focus on social change through dialogue, education, policy development and influencing behavior change.

The ACIC works with government bodies as well as individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, schools and other institutions in order to best address diversity issues within our local communities. Additionally, the ACIC works with communities of faith to develop programs that foster understanding between different faiths.

There are various ways you can get involved in the work of the ACIC depending on your interests. You could join one of our working groups or committees which focus on specific topics such as education or youth engagement; participate in public forums or workshops; attend stakeholder meetings; provide financial or material resources; serve as a mentor; volunteer time or skills; write letters or petitions; speak up against injustice whenever possible; take leadership roles within organizations or campaigns related to social justice causes; or become an ambassador for diversity advocacy work.

Yes! The ACIC offers educational workshops about diversity issues which are designed to support organizations in creating sustainable environments that are open and accepting of all people regardless of race/ethnicity, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation and religious practices among other factors. Additionally we offer trainings that focus on identifying privilege gaps that exist based on these categories.

All individuals interested in being part of a team working towards creating equitable access are eligible to apply for positions at the organization. However preference will be given those who demonstrate enthusiasm for creating meaningful change within their own communities by having experience working with diverse populations throughout their career including volunteer experience or other relevant background.
