Journey to Diversity Workplaces (J2DW) is a non-profit organization that envisions a world where the workplace is a source of pride, joy, and belonging for everyone. We believe that by embracing diversity, equity, inclusion, and safety, we can create a more productive, innovative, and connected society.
We are more than just an organization. We are a movement of people who are passionate about transforming the workplace and making it a better place for all. We were founded in 2013 by Peter V. Tretter, who has over 20 years of experience in various sectors and roles. Since then, we have grown into a network of members, partners, and supporters who share our vision and mission.
We are also a media platform that amplifies diverse voices and perspectives on various topics related to the workplace. We produce a volunteer-run podcast called Diversity on Air, where we interview experts, leaders, and activists who share their insights and experiences on diversity, equity, inclusion, and safety. We also publish a blog called Voices of our Nation, featuring articles contributed by volunteers and summer students who write about their opinions, stories, and research on workplace issues.
We are led by a ten-member Board of Justice Journeymakers who help govern us and lead us.
We are proud of our achievements and recognition. We are a member of OnGood, Charity Village, and CIRA. We also partner with VolunteerMatch. We have been featured in various media outlets, such as The Toronto Star and InDurham.
We invite you to join us on this journey for diversity workplaces. Whether you are an employer, an employee, or a supporter, you can make a difference by becoming a member, a partner, or a donor. You can also listen to our podcast episodes and read our blog posts to learn more about our work and our community.
