Current Local Offerings

The Levine Center To End Hate partners with the New York State Hate and Bias Prevention Unit and our Regional Council representatives/organization partners to bring interactive trainings, workshops, and community dialogues to workplaces, schools, and public institutions across Rochester. Together, we’re building capacity for empathy, allyship, and courageous leadership.

Anti-Bias Trainings

Offered by experts from the Center for Dispute Settlement and with support by the NYS DHR Hate and Bias Prevention Unit, this training is designed to promote greater awareness of implicit bias with respect to race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, age, cognitive/physical ability, religious affinity, and other identities. The primary goal of this training is to empower participants who recognize their own biases, become aware of the impact of these biases, and take steps to reduce the harmful impact of biases.

This training is FREE and open to the public.

Traveling Trunks &

Kindness Suitcases

Traveling Trunks (for grades 5-12) are on loan to educators (then returned to the Federation) and are loaded with artifacts replicated for hands-on student inquiry. Materials include authentic passports, documents, "yellow stars" and more, all based on local Survivors' experiences in Eastern Europe between 1938 and 1945.

Kindness Suitcases are created and developed by former elementary-school educators and feature 15 age-appropriate books and 30 learning activities about the Holocaust and people who helped others during the time. Contact us to learn more about how your school can acquire a Kindness Suitcase to keep!

Antisemitism 101 for Allies:

Join us next time!

"This training was incredible, well thought out and extremely informative. Monica was very intentional in her delivery creating a safe space to ask questions and be curious. The small group discussions with tabletop scenarios were very helpful and relevant. I left wanting to learn more and engage in more conversation."

-Jennie V., School Counselor

Peer Workshops

2nd-year Levine Center Youth Ambassadors bring research and important messaging to your youth program. Topics include: anti-bullying awareness, special education equity, authentic connection, boys' mental health awareness, and building self-reliance in young Latina girls.

Teacher PD

We are thrilled to be able to offer a number of teacher workshops and PD on numerous Jewish-related topics, from Judaism 101 and Jewish pluralism to deep-dives in Holocaust scholarship and the Israel-Hamas war. Email us for more information.

Survivors in the Classroom

Current data suggests that Holocaust distortion and denial is at an all-time high. Bringing a local Survivor or "2-G" (second-generation) to deliver testimony has a profound and lasting effect on students. Email us for more information.
