Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA)

KHP Foundation has a role to play in effecting social change and advancing equity. This is why the practice of IDEA is critical to us. We believe everyone who interacts with us deserves to feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to an environment of mutual respect. An open and diverse community can foster inclusion and amplify voices that have been, and continue to be, underrepresented.

As such, we welcome applicants from equity-deserving communities, including Indigenous Peoples, racialized persons, persons with disabilities, women, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals and more. We strongly believe that alleviating the underrepresentation of equity-deserving groups will help create a stronger KHP Foundation so young people across Canada can express all their thoughts and feelings.
