NOVEMBER 2019
Greetings!

A 16-year-old participant recently described the heart of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities ' work in the Daily Press. In an article about our Peninsula Diversity Dialogue Day program, Jamestown High School student Dylan Varney stated:
 
"Until we learn, we need to break labels in general. Labels hurt people. It comes back to empathy. That’s how we can get rid of discrimination."
 
VCIC's distinctive methodology links the head, the heart, and the hands to help program participants leave with knowledge, connection, and skills to make their spheres of influence more equitable and inclusive. 

Please let us know how we can partner with you. Contact the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities State Office by phone at (804) 515-7950 or by emailing VCIC . 

We look forward to working with you!
