What does a Positive Space Ambassador do?

Positive Space Ambassadors promote diversity awareness and inclusion with a focus on the 2SLGBTQI+ communities. We will look to you to speak openly and positively about gender and sexual diversity and provide assistance to others who are dealing with 2SLGBTQI+ related topics. You will also be encouraged to self-identify as a Positive Space Ambassador by wearing and/or posting identifiers to provide visibility.Positive Space Ambassadors are not counsellors or experts. They are peers committed to making the Defense Team a safer and more inclusive place for everyone. Ambassadors will need to balance their ambassador role with their work duties.

Why should you become an Ambassador?

As a Positive Space Ambassador, you will have the chance to learn about inclusivity, 2SLGBTQI+ topics, and promote and enable cultural growth within the Defense Team. You will also have the opportunity to hone your leadership skills and set a positive example for others. Many Ambassadors say they find the experience particularly rewarding because it offers them unique opportunities to connect with Defense Team colleagues on a personal level and to share their own experiences.

Course Overview

While much progress has been made, the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities still face challenges with heterosexism, genderism, transphobia and homophobia, which can lead to individuals feeling unsafe at work. This course explains what it means to be a Positive Space ambassador and prepares individuals to offer support to their colleagues as a Positive Space ambassador in the workplace. Through scenarios and practical exercises, participants will learn behaviors that can help bring diversity and inclusion into the modern workplace.
Topics include:
  • defining the role of a Positive Space ambassador
  • outlining helpful behaviors of ambassadors
  • reviewing different support methods
