Mentoring Partnership

Diversity
Recognizing that diversity extends beyond race, gender, ethnicity, age and sexual orientation to thought, skill and passions – the program’s monthly meetings provide a safe space for confronting differences, passionately advocating points of view, and challenging the status quo.
