Programs - S & J Consulting

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 school/business climate.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS: These programs include trainer of trainers for student workshops.

TRAINER-OF-TRAINERS: For organizations and individuals who are interested in doing diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency work.

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.
