The document outlines a proposed "Diversity Camp" program for youth aimed at promoting diversity awareness, identifying challenges to diversity and inclusion, and building understanding between different groups. The day-long camp would introduce participants to people with disabilities, immigrant communities, and other minority populations through immersive experiences, instruction, and interactive exercises, with the goal of helping youth appreciate the diversity of their community and how to build a more integrated and inclusive region.
