DAISSI Diverse and Inclusive Salt Spring Island Society

Purpose

Through this 27-month project, Diverse and Inclusive Salt Spring Island (DAISSI) will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address the need to increase our own understanding of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion while building our membership, working towards financial sustainability, and creating a plan to secure a resource center space for 2SLGBTQI+ people. The project will include the creation of a Strategic Plan, Board needs assessment and training, the development of volunteer and communication programs to assist with growing DAISSI’s adult and youth membership, and engaging and partnering with other local and regional organizations (including local Indigenous and other Black, Indigenous and People of Colour organizations) and individuals on Salt Spring.
