About this Event
TEAM Westport, in partnership with The Westport Library, is proud to present the winners of the 12th Annual Teen Diversity Essay Contest during a special ceremony held at the Library.
2025 Essay Charge:
TEAM Westport is dedicated to addressing issues of bias and discrimination related to race, religion, ethnicity, and LGBTQIA+ identity that negatively impact our town’s goal of being a welcoming community for all who live and work here. The recent introduction of the Anti-Defamation League's "No Place for Hate" initiative in Westport's schools strives to create an environment where all students feel they belong and are free from bias, bullying, or hatred.
In our community, each person's unique identity — shaped by their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other aspects of who they are — contributes to the character of Westport. In 1,000 words or less, we invite you to reflect on how your own identity shapes your perspective and the experiences you have in Westport.
Essay submissions are being accepted through Monday, March 10, at 11:59 pm. Visit teamwestport.org for more information.
