Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Covenant House Vancouver is a secular organization that welcomes and serves young people from all backgrounds. While the international federation to which we belong was founded in the 1970s by members of the Catholic Church, we are not aligned with any specific faith traditions.
CHV is committed to upholding diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplace. We actively encourage applications from members of groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity, including, but not limited to:
Persons from groups marginalized due to race, ancestry, colour, religion/spiritual beliefs, or place of origin;
Persons with visible (physical) and/or invisible (mental) disabilities;
Persons who identify as women;
Persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions; and
Indigenous persons.
We recognize that many of these identities intersect and that therefore, diversity, equity, and inclusion can be complex. We value the contributions that each person brings and are committed to ensuring full and equal participation for all at Covenant House Vancouver.

Purpose
Covenant House Vancouver is committed to serve all youth with relentless support, absolute respect, and unconditional love; to help youth experiencing homelessness; and to protect and safeguard all youth in need.
Values
We incorporate the principles of Immediacy, Sanctuary, Value Communication, Structure, and Choice, in all aspects of our programs and services.
Approach
Covenant House Vancouver is a trauma-informed agency. As such, we hold an awareness that the youth who come to us may have been impacted by various forms of trauma and believe that trauma can be both a cause and a product of homelessness.
