Youth Diversity Councils give students the opportunity to explore various multicultural concepts, strategies, communication, conflict resolution, and leadership skills.
Diversity Councils are based on the following ideas:
- We are not all the same
- Differences can create divisions among us
- Education can help us find common ground in spite of our differences
- Unity is essential to solving problems that affect us all
VALUING DIVERSITY AS A COMMUNITY ASSET
THE PLEDGE
I GIVE my personal pledge that I will work to actively demonstrate and enhance my understanding of the value of diversity among people.
I PLEDGE that I will publicly support the value of diversity in our school and work toward racial unity in our community.
I PLEDGE that I will not by my actions or my silence indicate a tolerance of any word or deed that degrades or mocks the diversity of any person.
As part of this pledge,
I WILL respond to any follow-up requests for information regarding what I accomplished or had influence in accomplishing to support my pledge for valuing diversity.
