Vision Regarding Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

We have experienced the transformative capacity for players to build community, grow together, and to develop leadership and collaboration skills. 

As a non-profit organization, we want to bring folks from varying backgrounds, ideas, and points of view to collaborate and create a safe and welcoming sports environment for all our players, both on and off the field. We believe that diverse perspectives come from many sources including gender, gender identity, race, age, national origin, sexual orientation, culture, education, socio-economic background, and professional and life experience.

DEIB goes beyond a mission statement. We are committed to diversity and inclusion and are always looking for people to help us curate and expand our community. 

• DEIB looks like doing the work of expanding our board and teams to include BIPOC/Women/Femme/Non-Binary/Trans/Age/Ability/+ representation. 
• DEIB means extending our reach to find people that we traditionally miss when messaging the power of adult recreational sport.
• DEIB is meeting people where they are – regardless of experience or ability – to upskill people into players and players into leaders on and off the field.

We are here to serve and create something new. We are prepared and excited to bring new people onboard who share our vision and commitment. It is our aim to include as many people as possible and create space for people to contribute to the overall success of Stonewall Sports SF.
