Testimonials
Kathleen Naglee
International School Leader & Advocate for Student-Centered Education
Belong Hub is more than a framework—it’s a movement toward truly inclusive and student-driven school cultures. At the International School of Helsinki, I was proud to support a growing shift toward deeper student leadership, ensuring that student voice was not just encouraged but embedded in school life.
Helen Morgan
Head of Leadership Development and Learning ECIS
Rachael Thrash is the kind of facilitator who leaves a lasting impact. With a rare blend of expertise, warmth, and positive energy, she creates spaces where people feel heard, valued, and inspired to grow. Her ability to build trust and connection is second to none, making every session she leads both engaging and deeply meaningful.
Steven J. Karaiskos, Ph.D
Educator and Emotion Scientist, a Leader in the Development of Whole Child Emotional Well-being
Belong Hub is more than just a resource—it’s a transformative approach that equips students and educators with the tools to lead with empathy, build inclusive communities, and navigate complex challenges. I’ve seen its impact firsthand, using their tools in diverse settings—from supporting grieving youth at The Kita Center in Maine to guiding teens in leadership and social-emotional learning across New England, the U.S., and even globally.
Wendy Toole
Teacher & Advisor, Baxter Academy, Portland, Maine
Rachael and Mustafa steered (the students) away from identifying as victims, rather they prompted the students to take next steps into their own hands. The students prioritized community-building activities and Rachael helped them organize two projects that they would take the lead on.
