The Philadelphia Affinity Group Network seeks to cultivate authentic, inclusive, intersectional spaces for educators who identify as people of color. These affirming and supportive spaces, rooted in an asset-based understanding of diversity, will support educators in navigating and improving their school environments and will be connected to a larger network to build alliances and address systemic issues.
The affinity groups will meet at least monthly (starting in November 2024). Activities during affinity group meetings can include: building a supportive community through heart work & connection; providing professional ideas, support, advice & connection; identifying retention challenges in their districts; and, when feasible and safe, advocating to address those challenges.
