We Customize Diversity Programs To Meet Your Needs:

WORKSHOPS: Our interactive multicultural workshops are designed to meet the needs of your employees/students at
your workplace or school. Through ice breakers, group discussions and reflective activities, we provide tools to help
combat prejudices and explore intolerance. We provide opportunities to be culturally responsive to our changing
demographics.

We encourage participants to look at human relations issues, to observe where they stand, and to develop their own
connections and reactions. Participants are not asked or expected to leave with a homogeneous perception of diversity.

Respecting the dignity of all individuals is the key premise. Confidentiality is valued. Participants represent
themselves, not their entire school or company. Most importantly, we provide a vital starting point that can get
everyone thinking, talking and acting.

FOCUS GROUPS: Following up our workshops with small in-house groups, we address specific school and
workplace issues that affect your environment.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS: These programs include trainer of trainers for student workshops and employee
focus group training.

KEYNOTE ADDRESSES: Our customized programs motivate, invigorate and empower your employees/students.

CURRICULUM: We work with your curriculum committees to assist in infusing a culturally-responsive focus.

ALL-SCHOOL PROGRAMS: We also organize clubs, lead workshops, coordinate field trips, present keynote
addresses and arrange assemblies for schools of all sizes and grade levels.

BENEFITS: In return for honest reflection and willingness to consider alternate views, participants enjoy improved
self-esteem, better relationships, more positive business contacts and higher employee/student achievement.

We identify factors that promote group understanding and individual success. You'll learn proactive ways to improve
your climate and empower your employees and colleagues.
