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".

until I participated in this program.  It was a lot more engaging and
challenging than I expected".

reflection.  I feel empowered in my everyday activities and now I have a
community and a group of friends that I can talk to".

getting personal".
