Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)

All our meetings are open to the public. For all SEM DEI activities click here.

The SEM DEI Mission Statement is to promote an inclusive culture where diversity is valued so that previously underrepresented people feel encouraged to enjoy the outdoors with AMC.

The SEM DEI motto is: WELCOME, RESPECT, INVOLVE.

Activity Participation Policy

"AMC encourages involvement in its mission and activities, through its membership, programs, policies and procedures. Our goal is to be a community that is comfortable, inviting and accessible for people of any age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. Some AMC programs are designed for a certain age range of members or for a special activity or topic. However, any person who meets the minimum qualifications (skills, experience, fitness) established by the trip leader(s) for an activity is eligible to attend, if space is available."
