Whittier PTA Belonging Groups
For the 20205-2026 school year, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee of the PTA is introducing Belonging Groups, with the goal of connecting Whittier Caregivers in an intentional way to build community and belonging.
What is a belonging group? A belonging group is a community-led group that shares common identities, foster a sense of connection, create a safe and inclusive space, and supports members in exploring their shared experiences. We are launching three belonging groups this fall.
If you have questions, or would like information on forming a belonging group, please email EDI@whittierptaseattle.org
Caregivers of Gender Diverse Kids Belonging Group:
Join Whittier Caregivers of kids who identify outside the gender binary—including trans, non-binary, genderfluid youth, and any kiddo who may be questioning their gender identity—in building a supportive and inclusive community!

Caregivers of Neurodivergent Kids Belonging Group:
Are you part of Whittier’s SPED program? Does your kiddo have a diagnosis—or do you suspect they might be neurodivergent? Join the club! We’re building community and creating a supportive space for caregivers of neurodivergent kiddos to connect, share resources, and support one another.
Family Hang on September 27 @ 10:30 – sign up here.
Whittier Multicultural Belonging Group:
Whittier’s community includes families from all over the world. Come meet other Whittier families who are new to the community and are learning what it means to be a Whittier Wildcat! Let’s connect, share, and support each other on this journey.
