"I am really impressed by the activities and courage that increased within the group throughout the session. Trust was created for sharing and I appreciate the respect, patience, and kindness from Megan."
International Automotive Supplier Manager
"Working in small groups - discussing real-life crucial conversations and the strategies we can use to improve them - was a fabulous experience. I felt both helpful and helped after each breakout room. It's no exaggeration for me to say that I left our session feeling inspired and energized. If you had told me beforehand that I would feel that way after four hours of virtual training, I would have laughed in your face (a disrespectful and defensive reaction). I usually HATE "hybrid" work. Y'all do it right. I can't wait for more!"

Why is JEDI work important for Non-Profit Organizations?
In the realm of non-profit organizations, embedding Social Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) principles strengthens their connection to social causes by broadening the understanding of identity beyond class, race, and gender. By embracing JEDI/DEI, organizations can foster an inclusive environment that acknowledges and respects diverse identities, ensuring that their missions address the multifaceted needs of the communities they serve. Expanding the focus beyond traditional markers of identity enables non-profits to create more comprehensive and effective solutions to societal challenges. Funders increasingly seek organizations committed to social justice, recognizing that JEDI/DEI initiatives are fundamental to creating sustainable and impactful change. Non-profits dedicated to equity and social justice align with the priorities of numerous funders, amplifying their opportunities for financial support and partnerships. Ultimately, by integrating JEDI/DEI into their frameworks, non-profit organizations can effectively address systemic issues and make significant strides toward a more equitable society.
