Take it upon yourself to <strong>seek education<\/strong>, to <strong>listen more<\/strong>, and to <strong>actively dismantle racist beliefs,<\/strong> so that you can productively play a part in creating the future we want to see for our youth participants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As an organization that is white-led and centered around access to boardsports (all very white-represented sports), the majority of youth we serve are not represented. We recognize that we need to change this dynamic. Chill will collectively take internal steps to <strong>examine our anti-oppression processes<\/strong>, and publicly take external steps to <strong>be accountable, while amplifying BIPOC youth voices<\/strong>. \u00a0We have an opportunity to use our privilege as strong allies, and root our beliefs in equity and solidarity, while also working to better reflect the youth we serve in our leaders, mentors, partners, and ambassadors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We are committed.
