Country Chair: Megan Saxelby
United States
Welcome to Global Dignity United States. We are living in a remarkable moment in time—a time when young people are standing up against intolerance, violence and division, and creating positive change in their communities. We see it as our role to empower them to recognize their own inherent dignity, and the dignity of every other person. With positive values and support, young people can build the world they want to live in.
We are currently recruiting City Chairs to implement Global Dignity's work around the United States. Please be in touch if you are interested in representing Global Dignity in your city or town, or visit the Get Involved section of our website for other ways to bring Global Dignity to your community.

Country Chair For United States
Megan Saxelby, M.Ed., is an educator, parent coach, and the founder of Wild Feelings, a coaching practice dedicated to helping parents build strong relationships with their adolescent children by building cultures of dignity at the kitchen table. Her work replaces the cultural narrative that adolescence must simply be endured with a developmental model grounded in dignity. She believes strengthening families is a powerful form of civic work.
Megan brings more than fifteen years of classroom experience across independent, public, and charter schools to this mission. She has served as a curriculum developer for New York Times bestselling author Rosalind Wiseman and for #HalfTheStory, a leading digital wellness nonprofit, and is a certified practitioner of Dr. Susan David’s Emotional Agility coaching framework. She is mentored by Dr. Donna Hicks of Harvard University, author of Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict.
Megan serves as Global Dignity’s Country Chair for the United States, advancing dignity and belonging in schools, families, and communities nationwide.
