Diversity Club

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong because someday in life you will have been all of these." ------------George Washington Carver

"The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority; the test of courage comes when we are in a minority."--------------------Ralph W. Sockman

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."-------------------Peace Pilgrim Quote

Purpose: The purpose of the Diversity Club is to engage young adults in the process of working towards a more unified, tolerant society in which everyone feels comfortable in their ability to belong and work side by side, becoming blind to differences in people.

Goal: To decrease fear of the unknown and increase awareness and tolerance of the differences in people for the students at Hanover Area Jr/Sr High School.

What's happening this month: In February we decorated our bulletin board honoring famous Black leaders throughout the history of the United States to celebrate Black History Month. In March we will be changing the bulletin board to reflect another cultures customs, etc. (We haven't decided on a topic as of yet). We are also beginning to work on a cookbook of traditional recipes that the members will be collecting from family and friends. We will have the book ready for sale by next fall. New projects are on the horizon and we continue to look for new members. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to come and see what we're about!
