Participant Response
Our programs include participant evaluation and feedback. We ask, for example: “What is the most important new awareness, idea, fact, or feeling you are taking away from this session?” Typical responses include:
“Think outside the box. Exercise empathy. Treat everyone with respect and as a unique individual.”
“I really enjoy listening and getting so much better at it! I love learning about others and am learning more about myself as a result.”
“Helped me connect with colleagues that I would not otherwise have an opportunity to have a meaningful discussion with”
“There are other co-workers that see the urgency and need for change. I feel less ‘alone’ in the endeavor and begin to see it happening.”
“The caring circle was wonderful, magical.”
Who We Are
We believe our country is currently experiencing a uniquely “teachable time” in its journey towards realizing its founding ideals of liberty and justice for all.
Dr. Fran Kaplan formed Nurture LLC to advance and support that journey by using methods they’ve honed over many years to build bridges from our past to our future across racial/ethnic, urban/suburban/rural, generational, and other divides.
Dr. Fran has spent fifty-five years working against poverty and for social justice and peace locally, nationally, and internationally. A social change “entrepreneur,” she has founded and led multiple organizations. Learn more about Dr. Fran.
We look forward to partnering with organizations and individuals who seek to join the journey toward equity and build bridges together.
