Learn About The Benefits of Inclusion Programs for Organizations

Promoting bullying awareness curriculum for schools to foster tolerance and acceptance is our mission at DHIFI. Here DHIFI, we dream of a world where the individuality of each young person is not just recognized but something that is celebrated actively. 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 individuals who are confident and compassionate. We work on developing initiatives for an array of institutions, such as schools, centers for higher learning, local businesses and communities.

An Inclusion Curriculum

Promoting a SEL program for organizations is the cornerstone of DHIFI’s mission. We focus on developing the youth’s abilities for emotional understanding, establishing beneficial goals, cultivating empathic interactions, building relationships, and making informed choices. At DHIFI, we broaden the scope of SEL by inspiring students to take pride in their unique qualities with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Narrative exchange: Students bolster their self-confidence and dismantle social barriers that commonly result in bullying, by recounting the stories of their own lives.
  • 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, guaranteeing everybody knows they have a place, regardless of the differences they have.

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.
