GRATITUDE
“Magnus is ground zero when it comes to disabled sailing in
Miami. What he provides for us disabled sailors is really,
unbelievable! Anyone who came down and wanted him to work
on their boat, or help them get into Paralympic sailing, he did it.
I never forget how much he helped me out!

OUR MISSION
• “MAKE SAILING ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL”
• “Dedicated to changing lives by inspiring and empowering disabled and underserved communities,
US Veterans, and others with recreational, educational and healing programs through the sport of sailing”
• DIVERSITY, EQUITY and INCLUSION!
Team Paradise has adopted this statement as the cornerstone of its mission.
Definitions:
Diversity is embracing any collective mixture of differences and similarities as we strive to develop more inclusive and high performing environments. Diversity is invaluable
because it generates differing points of view, leads to innovation, fosters an understanding and acceptance of individuals from different backgrounds, and recognizes the
contributions that a variety of individuals and groups can make. Diversity encompasses, but is not limited to, race, color, ethnicity, nationality, religion, socioeconomic status,
veteran status, education, marital status, language, age, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental or physical ability, genetic information, and
learning styles.
Equity is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation
of some groups. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically under-served and under-represented populations and that fairness regarding these unbalanced
conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups.
Inclusion is about creating and maintaining an environment in which contributions and strengths are recognized, optimized and valued in a way that generates opportunities for
adaptability, problem solving, growth and ultimately increased success. Inclusion is about creating and maintaining an environment in which people are not excluded or
marginalized because of their difference and authentically bringing traditionally excluded individuals and/or groups into processes, activities, and decision/policy making in a
way that shares power and ensures equal access to opportunities and resources.
POWERFUL, ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY PARTNERS
ü In a relatively short time, Team Paradise has developed
an impressive network of reliable community partners!
WHAT SETS US APART

are encouraged and enabled to help sail the boats vs. simply riding
along as passengers.
