Keep It Real Inclusion Clubs

Keep It Real Connection Clubs provide a unique opportunity for schools, universities, and organizations to engage in ongoing, meaningful conversations about connection, empathy, and social change. We start with an initial meeting to explore whether a Keep It Real Connection Club is the right fit for your community. In this meeting, we discuss the specific needs of your school or organization, review how the club can make a lasting impact, and go over the pricing details to ensure transparency and clarity. If the club is a good match, we provide you with a comprehensive starter kit that includes everything you need to get started.

This kit includes a guidebook to walk you through setting up and sustaining the club, as well as the Keep It Real Connection Game—our core tool for fostering deep, impactful conversations. Additionally, you’ll receive marketing materials, such as flyers and social media templates, to help recruit participants and promote the club. The process is designed to be simple and scalable, allowing anyone within the school or organization—whether a student, educator, or leader—to facilitate these powerful conversations. Our goal is to make the implementation of your club as seamless as possible, with minimal effort required on your part while ensuring maximum impact. If you're ready to bring real, transformative change to your community, let’s schedule a meeting to discuss how Keep It Real Connection Clubs can make that happen.

Testimonials

Mariaelena Marcano, Assistant Director of Student Affairs, The City College of New York

Working in Higher Education for over ten years I have experienced many different types of programs, games and theories on how to break down barriers in order to build community, trust, and a safe environment. The Keep It Real game is my secret weapon when it comes to preparing my students to be able to speak about personal feelings, experiences, and opinions with students they may not know. The Keep It Real game is a creative tool which allows students to connect an experience with a face, group laughter, and group support. It begins the true foundation of community, retention, and most importantly the building of new friendships and great memories that we as educators hope are long-lasting with college.

Keep It Real was the core of our Diversity workshop for students and proved to be more engaging and impactful than any keynote speaker we have ever had. In the past, while other diversity activities have caused students to feel guilty or marginalized because of their identity, Keep It Real empowered our students to speak their truth while remaining open to the experience and the dialogue. Students repeatedly mentioned that the game provided them with the opportunity to have honest conversations with their peers in a safe environment surrounding important issues. Both the staff and students involved agreed that Keep It Real should be an aspect of new student orientation and first-year experience classes.

"We used the Keep It Real game with our Resident Assistants during their diversity training as well as with one of the college's women leadership groups. The students loved every minute of playing the game. Based on their comments, what they liked most was the fact that they could talk about difficult topics without feeling self-conscious because everyone else who was playing had to do the same. This enabled them to build trust quickly and so answers were honest and meaningful. Since the training, some resident assistants have borrowed the games to use with their floors. I would strongly recommend this game to anyone interested in helping others to understand themselves and colleagues/ peers in fun but meaningful ways."
