Member Resource Groups: A New Opportunity to Foster DEIB

We recognize that barriers stand in the way of some individuals in the coaching community from becoming ICF members, growing as coaches, accessing certain opportunities, or gaining a sense of belonging. ICF Member Resource Groups (MRGs) aim to dismantle these barriers and overcome obstacles that impede the growth and inclusion of diverse communities in the coaching profession.

MRGs offer an opportunity for underrepresented ICF members, stakeholders, and allies to have a space to share, develop, and network with one another. Individuals who participate in these groups will also have access to different resources, including scholarship opportunities, workshops, and other event and course offerings.

As an ICF member, these groups are free to you, and you can participate in any or all of the following MRGs:

• BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) aims to create a safe and productive space for coaches of all racial and ethnic backgrounds interested in promoting racial equity in coaching.
• Persons with Disabilities supports those who have experiences with disabilities, whether as a coach, client, or ally.
• Young Professionals (40 and under) focuses on developing the next generation of leaders in coaching.

Through these MRGs, we hope you will help us foster a richer and more vibrant community and a profession that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
