We envision a world that recognizes and celebrates the unique identity of everyone

At Rite of Passage Journeys, we are committed to creating safer, more inclusive and accessible spaces for all the youth we serve. We are dedicated to a path of learning, and building trust within the LGBTQ2IA+, gender diverse, queer and trans community.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We are committed to Anti-racist practices at Rite of Passage Journeys. As a 57 year old organization we acknowledge that we have had a history of being a white led and white serving organization that is now deeply committed towards dismantling white supremacist culture. We acknowledge the devastating effects of the ongoing oppression and marginalization of black and brown bodied communities in our society. We are committed to tangible and continued improvement.  We have been part of the problem; we are learning and taking actions to part of the solution.

We declare that Journeys will be a safe enough place for black, indigenous, and other folks of color (BIPOC) to work, participate and volunteer.  We are committed to move forward in our learning and growth with a key value of dismantling systemic racism. In this effort, we are dedicated to understanding the different ways that we as an organization, and as individuals, can contribute to ending the racism that persists in our inherited cultural structures, values, and systems.
