Question Title

* 6. Equity Champion Award Category
We are committed to eliminating all forms of oppression and achieving systemic equity through the work of Parks and Recreation. Considering the Race and Social Justice Initiative , our goal is to make sure that race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability or identification with any other marginalized community are not predictors of success, participation or access.

Equity = Access to the same opportunities from all different staring places. How has your volunteer demonstrated our commitment to serving all residents as described above?

Champions have natural talents for leadership, team-building and advocacy. How has your volunteer displayed these talents while expanding access to Parks and Recreation participants?

A champion can sometimes be recognized for the little things such as spending a few extra minutes with a participant to tell them about an opportunity or go out of their way to accommodate a participant or family. Tell us when your volunteer did something extra.
