What have past participants gained?

- "It helped me reconnect with different perspectives and gave me a chance
to step outside myself and my own world view".

- "I thought that I knew everything about the issues related to diversity
until I participated in this program.  It was a lot more engaging and
challenging than I expected".

- "The program provided me with a safe space for honest dialogue and
reflection.  I feel empowered in my everyday activities and now I have a
community and a group of friends that I can talk to".

- "The program allows deep conversations to take place, which is a HUGE
benefit, considering how we cannot truly understand certain issues without
getting personal".
