Discover The Power of Inclusion And Belonging Activities for Schools

Promoting social emotional learning activities for students to encourage acceptance and tolerance is our mission at DHIFI. Here DHIFI, we envision a world where the individuality of each young person isn’t simply recognized but something that is celebrated actively. Giving adolescents and children the confidence they need to embrace their individuality and stand proudly with confidence is our mission at DHIFI. Helping young people grow into confident and compassionate individuals is the focus of the work we do. Our offerings include a wide range of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings to this end.

A Inclusion Curriculum

Central to the mission at DHIFI is the promotion of a social emotional learning program for universities. We concentrate on enhancing the youth’s capacity for emotional understanding, establishing beneficial goals, cultivating empathic interactions, strengthening relationships, and making informed choices. We magnify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by encouraging learners to celebrate the things that make them unique, sustained by educational offerings that emphasize expanding SEL’s reach, encouraging students to take pride in their individuality, supported by initiatives that include:

  • Story sharing: By sharing the experiences they’ve had with others, students achieve confidence and tackle the obstacles that often result in bullying.
  • Accentuating distinctiveness: We enlighten students that their diverse characteristics are merits rather than inadequacies.

Included in our mission, we endorse for self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, foster respect for people from various backgrounds, and ensure everybody feels they belong, regardless of their differences.

Anti-Bullying Initiatives For Organizations

DHIFI, created by Meg Zucker, isn’t just a nonprofit; it’s the embodiment of a personal journey toward self-acceptance. With the personal insight of living with a unique genetic condition affecting her and her husband’s limbs, and with two of their three children that have inherited the condition, Meg has shaped DHIFI into a platform for the celebration of visible differences. From its inception, DHIFI has flourished into a radiant community, inspiring schools, families, and individuals to celebrate their differences only, turning things that were perceived as obstacles into springboards for empowerment and growth. DHIFI founder Meg Zucker also offers speaking engagements to further our mission. Get in touch with us today to discover more.

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.
