Multicultural volunteer team

I am now part of a multi-cultural volunteer group that mentors high school students from disadvantaged communities in Chicago. We meet at a local high school once a month to discuss how our mentoring relationships are going as well as building a strategy to grow the program. We have a really talented group, but our last couple of meetings turned out to be problematic in terms of how the group interacted with each other. I think the discomfort in the group was due in large part to a Muslim woman who chose to wear a face veil.
