Guild Resources

Growing and sustaining a robust, diverse, and inclusive membership is essential to fulfilling our mission and values.

The Guild Association is committed to being an active supporter of Seattle Children’s work to become an anti-racist organization. This begins with ensuring an inclusive membership program that represents all of the communities served by Seattle Children’s.

Please take a look at Anti-Racism Resources (PDF).

We continually update the resources to meet the needs of our guilds. If you can’t find what you are looking for, email us.
