  • Elsa, Montreal Kindergarden Teacher

    "Carley from You Belong taught this program to my kindergarten students for two years in a row. Her lessons were age-appropriate, engaging, and meaningful. Each lesson and discussion built on each other in a seamless way. The lessons were simple and short, yet memorable and pertinent for the students."

  • Elementary School Teacher

    “The conversations that emerged during the workshops left an imprint on the kids, and they wanted to keep talking about it."

  • 2nd Grade Teacher, St. Gabriel Elementary

    "I didn’t know where to start, but after watching the You Belong facilitators teach, I gained more confidence in responding to gender and diversity in the classroom. Their videos, slides, and creative activities resulted in an incredible level of engagement from my class. The kids became emotionally invested in the topics."

The workshop was captivating and informative, offering nuanced information that was easy to understand and practical tools to foster inclusion at camp. The speakers knew their stuff, and I saw clear results in my staff. For anyone interested in learning about gender, and ensuring kids feel safe and supported, YouBelong is the answer”

  • Elementary School Teacher

    “I witnessed the You Belong facilitators approach sensitive topics with compassion and in an age-appropriate way. Their skill gave me more comfort moving forward as a classroom teacher."

  • Montreal Kindergarden Teacher

    “Carley approached a variety of topics and is incredible at answering tricky questions from the kids. I learned so much from watching her teach this program. As a preschool teacher, I feel much more prepared to teach these topics! I now have a variety of tools and resources!"

"We want a world where boys can feel, girls can lead, and the rest of us can not only exist but thrive. This is not about erasing men and women but rather acknowledging that man and woman are two of many—stars in a constellation that do not compete but amplify one another’s shine.”

― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary
