We firmly believe that diversity education should start in elementary schools, and that the way to do that is through building empathy. Our approach to diversity is based on creating understanding and becoming comfortable with our own identities so that we may be more open to others. We believe that diversity is a strength that can be harnessed to bring people together, rather than be the dividing denominator. Our program encourages students to explore and appreciate what makes them special, to accept ourselves for who we are in hopes that we can then begin to accept others. Our interactive sessions are designed to build community, champion students identities, and foster excitement for learning about people who are different than us.
