TESTIMONIALS
"IYC is one of the greatest organizations I’ve ever supported and been active in! It is so inclusive and has educated us on so many topics we didn’t know much about. I love that you talk about harder topics and topics that mainstream groups don’t always discuss."
​~ Donor
"Your crew is amazing and I love your events!!!!"
~ IYC Enthusiast
"I am truly blessed to be part of such an amazing organization. The universe brought me to a place where I can be a simple cog in the movement for change. I am thankful for the opportunities IYC has given me to help make a difference in our world. To be recognized for that effort is overwhelming. I have met so many amazing humans through this work and been given hope through these change makers.”
​~ Carrie, Curriculum Director & Science Educator​
"Love the education and the craft. Love the programming.
~ Event Attendee
"It fills my heart to see how much work Inform Your Community has done. It is truly phenomenal to see the wonderful work of every board member, their faces, the diversity, and it's empowering to see a board like that. I am thankful for Inform Your Community. I am thankful I was invited. Stacey's speech was poignant. There's more that connects us than disconnects us and it's the unknown that we fear and the ambiguity that's feared, but once those are clarified there's really no resistance to change. I appreciate you and the work that you do."
​~ Nonprofit Professional
"What is needed today, yet what is most sadly lacking in our religious communities, our families, our neighborhoods, and the body politic is the capacity to listen to one another with an open mind and an empathetic heart, and the skill to engage in civil conversation with those with whom we disagree. Inform Your Community can help one acquire the tools necessary to facilitate these sometimes difficult conversations – while having fun. If you are both conversation and fun averse steer away. Otherwise, Inform Your Community could be just what you’re looking for."
​~ Tony, Former Board Member
"I sooo loved this one! Thanks, you wonderful people. This is what I look forward to each week we have an event!"
~ Tiffany, Event Attendee
"I had so much fun. Amazing how much IYC has grown and all great people who were there too."
~ Emily, Former Volunteer
"I'm one of the people who think
that we can all make a difference at
our very personal level and help
shape our democracy. A lot of the
people who vote for extremes are
frustrated and blinded by it so they
can't see all the facts. It's our
responsibility to educate them on
what is really going on and then let
them make up their minds.
Presented peacefully with hard
facts, they can have a real choice.
Having a conversation with one
person will make that person carry
the conversation over to friends of
theirs who share the frustration, and slowly, your explanations are spreading. That's why Inform Your Community's work is really crucial. It's about empowering people with information vs propaganda and
educating them. What they choose
to do is theirs but you have tried. At
least, I do, all the time."
