Affinity Groups are spaces formed for people to be brought together based on one common identifier such as race, gender, or sexuality, to name a few. Here, speaking from the “I” perspective, members have deep conversation and perform activities with those like themselves, ultimately providing a place of comfort, security, and tranquility. There is general consensus on how these Groups reinforce and strengthen the bonds within and throughout a community, while also increasing the liveliness, openness, and feelings of belonging across the members. At Moorestown Friends School, Affinity Groups were implemented in Fall 2019, and since then have been beneficial to students and faculty alike in our community.

"It’s a space where you can discuss the experiences you have been through with people who have a similar background as you. They have a better understanding of where you come from and what you have been through so they better support and uplift you in a way." -Robert Bougazelli, '21
