Diversity and Inclusion Committee

Committee Mission

To work toward making ultimate frisbee more inclusive and accessible within our
diverse community, by way of removing inequitable barriers to participation and
growth from low income, underrepresented, and marginalized adult and youth
populations. We acknowledge that inequities exist in all dimensions of diversity,
which include, but are not be limited to, age, race, ethnicity, gender, gender
expression, sexual orientation, language, culture, class, religion, mental ability,
physical ability, country of origin and immigration status. This committee should aim
to be representative of and/or informed about such diversity, in order to best serve the
community.

Committee Objectives

● Addressing Adult Inequities with Focus on Participation and Growth of:
Women, Players with Children, Low Income and Underrepresented Players,
and First-Time, Late-Stage Players
● Addressing Youth Inequities with Focus on Participation and Growth of:
College and Club-Aspiring, Low-Income and Underrepresented players
● Celebrating, highlighting, and supporting diverse talent in the community
● Adapting to the needs of the community, being open to suggestion and
critique, and honestly communicating both progress and impediments
● Ensure diverse voices are heard, without asking those same voices to
“fix” inequities, that they currently face themselves, alone, and to utilize
allyship in order to avoid burnout
