My Project

At our high school, we are committed to creating spaces where all students feel seen, valued, and connected. To further this mission, we are seeking to establish a Ping Pong Club that fosters inclusivity, celebrates cultural diversity, and provides equitable extracurricular opportunities.

Through this initiative, we aim to create a vibrant and welcoming environment where students from all backgrounds can come together to connect, compete, and lead.

Students from diverse backgrounds will have opportunities to take on leadership roles within the club, fostering representation and ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. Through the shared activity of ping pong, students will interact with peers they might not otherwise connect with, breaking down stereotypes and encouraging unity.
