Testimonials


Student leadership Trainings

"Sara inspires and challenges young people to be self-aware, compassionate leaders. She helps them understand that leadership is not about being popular and powerful but it is about seeing what needs to be done to make the world a better and more equitable place."
- Charlotte Worsley, Assistant Head for Student Life, The Urban School of San Francisco

"Being in a group that had never met before and seeing how successfully we could produce ideas was pretty powerful. Thank you—We should have more student leadership trainings. This was very helpful."
-Student leader, Lick Wilmerding High School

Program Design/Strategy Consultations

"The Conant Foundation engaged Sara to help us refine and expand our Teens For Testing, a peer-based HIV education and testing curriculum targeted at high school students. Over the course of two months Sara worked side by side with our team to create an outstanding program. It was as if her work was less as an outside consultant and more an interested stakeholder in the outcomes of our program. The collaborative and sharing nature of her professional style was an excellent match for our needs. Sara is a highly knowledgeable educator, a strong facilitator and has a very positive, cheerful attitude. We are very pleased with Sara's work and could not give a higher recommendation."
- Steve Paris, Program Manager, The Conant Foundation/Teens for Testing



Team Building & Vision Setting Retreats

"Sara led my team through a day-long vision and goal setting step back in order for us to come closer as a team and to set our priorities for the school year. We accomplished both overarching goals, and it would not have been possible without her. When we planned the day together, Sara was an excellent thought partner—she supported me in creating an agenda that I thought fit best for the team but also offered constructive feedback that ultimately led to a much better final product. During the day, Sara facilitated magnificently, driving the team toward our outcomes while maintaining enough flexibility to modify the agenda where necessary without sacrificing any of our goals. Thank you, Sara!"
- Scott Gaiber, Director of Recruitment, San Francisco Unified School District, Human Resources
