Chapter VIII: Veterinary Inclusion and Intersectionality Initiative is a nonprofit organization which was founded in 2020 to foster a representative environment in the veterinary profession through advocacy, art, and accessibility. The organization aims to reach people who belong to multiple underrepresented or marginalized groups based on race, ethnicity, disability, class, gender, and sexuality.
We seek to create access to care and access to education opportunities for underrepresented communities. Ultimately, our goal is to create a more inclusive and representative environment for both future and current veterinary professionals, and families/individuals seeking veterinary care, on a general and specialty basis.
