About Diversity

Diversity

Trevor’s mission statement establishes the principles by which our community of learners - students and faculty, families and friends, administration and staff - is guided in their everyday interactions with each other and with those in the wider community.

Through our willingness to ask questions, to listen, and to respond to all members of the community, we challenge ourselves to confront issues of bias with openness and honesty. We work to ensure that everyone who joins our community feels a sense of belonging. Establishing a community that is increasingly diverse is an ongoing process at Trevor. The process includes persistent examination and articulation of the meanings of diversity and its importance to our community. We systematically seek multiple ways of supporting a global, multicultural perspective and a diverse community.

This page is but one way of highlighting all kinds of diversity at Trevor. It invites you to explore its resources and to contribute in any way that you can to continue to introduce our students and families to information and experiences that are global in perspective.

We hope you enjoy your visit on-line and encourage you to come to Trevor to experience for yourself the “Trevor Way.” Please email your suggestions, comments, or questions to DISC@trevornet.org.

“James Baldwin wrote, ‘Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.’ Talking about racism [diversity] is an essential part of facing racism [diversity/equity issues] and changing it. But it is not the only part. I am painfully aware that people of color have been talking about racism for a long time. Many people of color [or whites] are tired of talking, frustrated that talk has not lead to enough constructive [concrete] action or meaningful social [school] change. But in my work, I have seen the effectiveness of talking about racism and teaching others to do the same…..I [we] remain hopeful. It is with this spirit of optimism that I [we] invite my readers [our teachers/faculty/staff] to join with me [us] in these conversation about race [diversity].” (Introduction, p. xix of 1997 edition).
