From its beginnings, Stonewall Sports has had a strong commitment to diversity.
Stonewall Sports is a community of LGBTQIA+ players and leaders that celebrates the rich diversity of the communities we belong to. Through our mission to create inclusive, accessible, and highly engaged leagues, we give back to local community non-profits.
Our first four sports offerings were started by LGBTQIA+ players of color in the hope of creating spaces where our commonalities would help us build safe spaces and a stronger community.
We believe diversity is much more an initiative, it is an integral part of our culture. Inclusion must be integrated into all of our practices.
Today, Stonewall Sports is proud that our player base comes from various backgrounds and groups to add to the local LGBTQIA+ communities where our chapters reside. Together, we strive to create health and inclusive offerings for all of our players.
Join the DEI Committee
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee works to increase the diversity of people, ideas, and beliefs within the organization, promote equity for all players, and build an inclusive environment.
This will be accomplished by developing and implementing an actionable agenda that recognizes the broad range of interests, values, and the cultural richness that defines our LGBTQIA+ community both through Stonewall and the greater Richmond community.
At our core, we believe that when we band together, we are all able to move forward in a way that celebrates our intersectionality and builds stronger communities. To do this we need players and leaders that give of their time, resources, and hearts on and off the field, court, lane, and mat. Join us in building something great!
