AGE is founded on principles of equity and inclusion. Embedded in the meaning of equity is the creation of environments where everyone can achieve their full potential. Equity is predicated on safety. Safety is jeopardized when one person’s power and privilege impact and impinge on another person’s physical, psychological, mental, emotional and/or social well-being. This can be intentional or unintentional.

AGE will NOT assume that any space is safe. Our hope is to create an environment that is a brave space where one feels the courage to speak out and speak up. 

AGE will be vigilant about providing advocacy and support for people who feel uncomfortable and/or unsafe physically, psychologically, mentally, emotionally, and/or socially. Advocacy and support include establishing a protocol to receive and gather information without retribution to the person in that position.

This form will be sent to members of the AGE Safety Committee. The Name and Email field are optional unless you would like to be contacted by a member of the Safety Committee or a Support Advocate. If you do not feel comfortable sharing your experience through this form but would prefer to speak to a Support Advocate/Safety Committee Member instead, please provide a contact method or email the Safety Committee at safety@ageinthearts.org
