Promoting a SEL program for schools to encourage tolerance and acceptance is our mission at DHIFI. Every child’s individuality is something that should be celebrated, and this is something we believe in strongly at DHIFI. Our mission is to give children and adolescents the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and hold their heads high. The work we do helps young people develop into individuals who are confident and compassionate. To this end, we provide a wide range of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings.

An Inclusion Program Program

Core to the mission at DHIFI is the advancement of a belonging curriculum for organizations. This includes instructing those who are younger on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, relationship-building, empathy, and making better choices. At DHIFI, we broaden the scope of SEL by motivating students to take pride in their special characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Story sharing: By sharing their personal experiences, students achieve confidence and tackle the barriers that often lead to bullying.
  • Accentuating individuality: We enlighten students that their different qualities are advantages rather than inadequacies.

Championing the acceptance of one’s self and the acceptance of others, encouraging respect for various backgrounds, and ensuring a feeling of belonging for everyone, no matter their individuality, are integral parts of our mission.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
