Thank you for your interest in PA Affinity Groups!

Understanding current events in the world and recognizing families may be wanting to find those deep community connections and support for under represented groups at EMS, the PA is helping facilitate the formation of affinity groups.

Once the groups are formed with the help of this sign up sheet, we are hoping that parents will volunteer their time to sign up as facilitators of these groups. Affinity group facilitators would be responsible for hopefully meeting every two months with all other affinity group facilitators as well as organizing a monthly meeting or event/gathering for their own affinity group. 

All affinity group facilitators will be asked to engage in a formal affinity group facilitation training by professionals in the DEIB educational realm.

Please enter your name and the name the affinity group(s), next to your last name, that you are interested in joining. Some examples are: Single Parent Families, African/Caribbean/African-American Families, Korean Families, Chinese Families, Hispanic/LatinX, Indian Families...this is not a complete list and all suggestions are welcome!

The PA has not had any Affinity Group meetings this year yet and will email the people who have signed up with further details.

We welcome all identifiers in establishing affinity group spaces, including race, ethnicity, religion, immigration experience, and family make-up, including any others shared by the group.
