Statement
The mission of The Julian Center was formulated with the goals of contributing to a significant reduction in the incidence of domestic violence and sexual assault, supporting survivors in healing, and to helping to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse.
These goals require a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental operating principle and also call for an active and ongoing process that affirms human diversity in its many forms, encompassing but not limited to:
- Ethnicity
- Race
- Gender
- Sexual Orientation and Identification
- Age
- Economic Circumstance
- Class
- Disability
- Geography
- Philosophy
We seek diversity in order to ensure that a range of perspectives, opinions and experiences are recognized and acted upon in achieving The Julian Center’s mission. The Julian Center also asks board members, staff, volunteers and supporters to make a similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to better enhance their abilities to contribute to the common good of our changing society.
Commitment
As a leading voice in the Indianapolis community‘s effort to end domestic violence, The Julian Center is committed to promoting diversity. We are equally committed to including a wide range of perspectives, opinions, and experiences as we work to achieve our mission. To that end, we actively seek to achieve diversity in the make-up of our Board of Directors, our staff and our volunteers and provide these groups with the tools, educational programs, and opportunities they require to more effectively serve the common good.
