Why do we have affinity groups at Parker?

At Parker, we believe each student deserves the opportunity to find her or his own voice, strengthen that voice, and use that voice to contribute to the community. Affinity groups at Parker are opportunities for students to come together in a safe, adult facilitated space to discuss their experiences, explore their identities, and consider how their identities influence their experiences at and outside of Parker. Our hope is that affinity groups provide interested students with opportunities to gain a stronger sense of who they are, in turn strengthening the overall Parker community.
