Workshop Testimonials
I am pleased to recommend Daniel Shorr AND his organization. This year our Council on Diversity and Inclusion invited him in to facilitate a deep dive look at the impact of generational differences on our Council's future direction. Daniel's upfront collaboration with me on the goals for our session and my direction was effortless. On the day of the meeting, Daniel was outstanding. His ease of facilitation took what could have been an emotionally charged discussion and kept it feeling like a stroll through a park. Yet, we tackled a tough subject and gained some very meaningful insights. Since that time I've collaborated with Daniel on a BUDS venture and again, found him to be bright, articulate, a visionary and yet, very easy to work with.

Perhaps the most meaningful contribution that Daniel has made to or organization is the BUDS workshop he led for the teen students. He led a diversity seminar and brought in a diverse group of facilitators to aid him. He had literacy, discussion, advocacy and anti-bullying components. The seminar was very appropriate for the group of youth we work with, and the curriculum was thorough and informative. The workshop used news articles that appealed to the interests and backgrounds of our students, and employed breakout sessions specific to the students and their religious or geographic backgrounds; BUDS gave them an opportunity to confront stereotypes and educate their peers. It was a tremendous learning experience for our students, and I am sure to the facilitators as well. -- Teen Program Coordinator, refugee-serving nonprofit, 2012 |
I wanted to thank you again for working with us on the BBYO International Convention Day of Service and Advocacy. We received great feedback from the teens about the program. You did a great job of connecting the Jewish and Black communities and I know the teens learned a lot. Thank you!
