At DHIFI, our mission is to encourage tolerance and acceptance through disability awareness programs for educators. The vision of DHIFI is a society that does not just recognize but actively celebrates each child’s individuality. Our mission is to give adolescents and children the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and hold their heads high. Our efforts are crucial in helping young people develop into compassionate and confident individuals. To this end, our offerings include a wide range of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings.

Inclusion And Belonging Program

At the core of DHIFI is our dedication to SEL programs for schools. Our aim is to teach young minds the ways to process their emotions, come up with constructive goals, demonstrate empathy, make better decisions and forge meaningful relationships. We amplify the impact of SEL at DHIFI by encouraging learners to celebrate their individualism, supported by offerings for education that concentrate on growing the reach of SEL, inspiring students to feel pride when it comes to their uniqueness, which is reinforced by endeavors that include:

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

We champion the acceptance of oneself and others and foster individual respect from different walks of life, ensuring everybody knows they have a place, regardless of their differences.

SEL Activities For Families

To promote SEL activities for students , Don’t Hide It Flaunt It has also created Project Flaunt, an interactive online platform. Our belief is that students are capable of being empowered and learn to accept themselves by fostering more inclusive environments and celebrating our differences. Building confidence and empathy among peers is the goal of this initiative, which can be achieved by encouraging students to flaunt their unique experiences and qualities. The program offers various resources and activities designed to integrate into school curricula, emphasizing inclusion and social-emotional learning (SEL). For schools looking to ensure each student feels accepted and valued, a understanding and supportive community can be created by implementing these activities.

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.
