Mentors and Community Partners Needed!

Our Affinity and Alliance Group programs are looking for community members for partnership! We have been able to stand up and work through spaces of care and belonging with the help of our community members, and we would like to expand that work! It takes all of us, all the time, always to ensure all within our community feels a sense of belonging, celebration, and support!

Do you have affinity with our Black/African American, Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latine,  Native American, Alaskan Native, Asian, Middle Eastern, North African, LGBTQ+, and Neurodiverse communities? We would love to partner with you!

What would partnership look like?

• Supporting Affinity and Alliance groups events

• Mentorship and partnership with Affinity and Alliance Group Advisors

• Support community conversations

• Community Events planning and Partnership for Grant opportunities

Relationship in Task! Sign up for the following Planning and Support Committees

TTSD’s Equity work is centered on Community Voice and Partnership (Policy ACC Educational Equity and Racial Justice, Empowered Voice) “Nothing for us, About us, Without us!” 

Year long engagement and partnership!
