What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
At Big Brothers Big Sisters justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) is an integral part of our values and mission. Together we affirm that every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are committed to creating and cultivating a safe environment where all individuals feel respected and valued equally. Amney mirrored this in a safe and judgement-free training where our staff was able to ask questions and learn. The experience of the simulation that Amney walked us through has allowed us to have deeper empathy which in turn has allowed us to be a better support for the people we serve.

Perhaps what I was most appreciative of was the absolutely judgment-free, safe space we were given to explore our thoughts and ask open, honest questions within. This was an absolutely phenomenal chance for the folks in our district who tend to work most closely with our LGBTQIA+ students to deep-dive into those basic principles of having respect, empathy, and understanding for all people, specifically this population of individuals. The training not only helped us better-understand ourselves and our own journeys, but it ultimately helped foster an opportunity for us to better-navigate the diverse world we live within, so we can serve those we work with from a place of compassion and inclusivity.
