The work must be informed and guided by people with lived experiences – “nothing about us, without us.”

Systems are designed to resist change and maintain the status quo. DiversiPro uses a developmental approach to challenge and guide organizations outside their comfort zone where real change can happen.
Moving away from token “consultations” to meaningful community engagement – a more collaborative approach that recognizes the inherent wisdom and capacity of people to create and lead their own solutions.
Accessibility must be embedded through inclusive design that looks at removing all barriers to meaningful participation, every step of the way.
