Fostering acceptance and tolerance with disability support activities for educators is our mission at Don’t Hide It Flaunt It. DHIFI’s vision is a society that doesn’t merely recognize but celebrates each child’s individuality actively. Giving adolescents and children the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and stand proudly with confidence is our mission at DHIFI. Our endeavors are crucial in helping young people grow into confident and compassionate individuals. Our offerings include a inclusion of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings to this end.

Inclusion And Belonging Programs

At the core of DHIFI is our commitment to inclusion initiatives for high schools. This entails instructing those who are younger on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, relationship-building, empathy, and wise decision-making. We amplify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by urging learners to be proud of the things that make them unique, sustained by offerings for education that concentrate on increasing SEL’s reach, inspiring students to take pride in their individuality, which is reinforced by initiatives that include:

  • Story sharing: By sharing their personal experiences, students achieve confidence and address the obstacles that many times produce bullying.
  • Accentuating distinctiveness: We educate students that their various characteristics are merits rather than inadequacies.

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

Get To Know You Activity Ideas For Families

To promote welcome activities for students , Don’t Hide It Flaunt It has additionally created an interactive online platform – Project Flaunt. By celebrating differences, promoting self-acceptance, and fostering an inclusive school environment, we strive to empower students. We believe that when students flaunt their unique qualities and experiences, the result is increased confidence and empathy among peers. This is what this initiative is all about. The program provides various resources and activities designed to integrate into school curricula, emphasizing social-emotional learning (SEL) and inclusion. For schools looking to ensure each student feels accepted and valued, a understanding and nurturing community can be created with the implementation of these activities. If you’re interested in SEL activities for students and want to learn more, visit Project Flaunt.

Anti-Bullying Initiatives For Students

Why pick DHIFI for inclusion activities for students? Launched by Meg Zucker, DHIFI is a nonprofit that originated from an experience that’s deeply personal and champions self-acceptance. With the individual insight of living with a rare genetic condition impacting her and her husband’s limbs, and with two of their three children inheriting the condition, Meg has steered DHIFI into a platform that celebrates visible differences. From its inception, DHIFI has flourished into a vibrant community, inspiring families, schools, and individuals to celebrate their differences only, turning things that were perceived as obstacles into springboards for empowerment and growth. To further our mission, speaking engagements are also given by DHIFI founder Meg Zucker. 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.
