Affinity Groups and Clubs

Explore who you are, have fun, and build lasting friendships.

 

We know belonging isn't something that just happens—it's something we actively create together. Whether you want to connect with others who share your identity, dive deep into a hobby or interest, or start something completely new, you'll find your people here.

Affinity Groups

Affinity groups are student-led spaces where you can build connection and solidarity with others who share a common identity. These groups are central to Bay's commitment to equity and belonging, giving you a place to explore your identity, discuss experiences, and support each other.

You'll have guidance from staffulty sponsors, but these groups are yours to shape. Our affinity groups work closely with our Student Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Council (SEID) and our Student Support Specialist. The Inclusion and Access Specialist (IAS) advances The Bay School’s commitment to inform and educate the Bay community about diversity, equity, and belonging with the hope to spark action and assist students and staffulty to be competent global citizens. 

Current affinity groups:

  • Asian Student Union
  • Black Student Union
  • JewCrew/Koach
  • Latines Unides
  • Middle Eastern North African Affinity Group
  • Neurodivergent Club
  • South Asian Affinity Group
  • Trans Agenda

Clubs

Have an interest or hobby you'd like to explore or talk about with others? Join a club or start your own—it can be as fun or as serious as you want it to be, and by participating in different clubs throughout the year, you can discover what you're passionate about and make lasting friendships.

Every club has a staffulty sponsor for support, but the direction and activities are up to you. Want to start something that doesn't exist yet? We'll help you make it happen.
