Diversity and Inclusivity Committee

Dream Team's Diversity and Inclusivity Committee was created to ensure that our members embrace diversity in the pediatric unit and foster inclusion in our volunteer initiatives. Through diversity workshops, events, and discussions, the committee intends to uplift and support all kinds of identities.
