Welcome Our New Ambassador: Rebecca Wilson

Rebecca Wilson, 11th Grade

Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

Hi everyone! My name is Rebecca and I am a Junior! I go to a Jewish Private school in a very affluent area so our community is homogeneous. This can sometimes lead to a very exclusive community towards minorities. I am very passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion work (DEI) in all environments but it can be very hard to enact change within a very close-minded uniform school. I would like to learn about the DEI work that has been successful in schools as inspiration to make my school environment more inclusive.

I would specifically like to reduce racism, homophobia, and the stigma around mental health. I also am hoping to expand my DEI work beyond the school setting by working with the other Ambassadors. I am so thankful for this amazing group of people and am so excited to see all the amazing work we accomplish together.

The Ambassadors of The National Diversity Coalition are student leaders from schools all around the nation that collaborate in the coalition to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at their school. The Diversity Alliance Executive Team will collaborate with you to elevate your DEI work on a bigger platform with various events and initiatives.
