TEAM Westport is the official committee of the Town of Westport, CT with the mission to make the Town of Westport increasingly welcoming with respect to race, ethnicity, religion and LGBTQIA+. TEAM is an acronym standing for “Together Effectively Achieving Multiculturalism.”


OUR MISSION

Issues stemming from multicultural shortcomings are national problems. Yet they exist in Westport too. Achieving and celebrating “a more welcoming, multicultural community with respect to race, ethnicity, religion and LGBTQIA+” offers us a tangible, achievable objective for community activities as well as opportunities for individual commitment.

If our neighbors represent all the parts of the world in which we live, that will strengthen the community’s fabric – the way our lives interact. We will do a better job of preparing our children for their future. Our lively civic discourse will become even richer when additional diverse viewpoints are represented. And perhaps most importantly, we will increase the possibility that each of us — in our own ways and in our own lives — will experience, enjoy and grow from the richness of diversity in our community.
