Affinity’s Glossary of Key Terms

November 2021 | By Rachel Humphreys

As a team we have compiled a list of commonly used terms in English and Spanish that are integral to our work. The document, Affinity’s Glossary of Key Terms, serves as a guide for Affinity staff members, board members, mentors, families, and community partners to create a shared understanding of Affinity’s language that’s central to our work and fulfilling our mission. This is in no way a comprehensive nor complete list, but a starting point for ongoing conversations around diversity, equity, inclusion and how it supports Affinity Mentoring.

Please note, this is a living document and will be updated frequently with new/updated terms.
