Dolly worked with Youthlinc to help us revisit and think through strategies related to our Capital campaign, which had been stalling out. The process in which she engaged us to think through potential solutions, and the pros and cons of each of those options was incredibly helpful. She invited us to trust the process, and it was effective.

She helped us center our thinking and make a solid decision to move forward. And shortly thereafter, we were able to successfully implement the strategies we designed and complete that project, which was a huge undertaking.

We are grateful for the work she did as part of her facilitation project to support the success and mission of our organization.

Working with Dolly during our Capital Campaign relaunch was incredibly impactful. She brought structure, clarity, and a thoughtful facilitation process that helped us explore previously unexamined options and move forward with a new plan.

Her ability to guide us through large scale decisions ultimately led us to a solution that saved our organization several million dollars and aligned with our long term needs.

We’re so grateful for her contributions to support our mission during a pivotal time in Youthlinc history.

About the Project:

Within the Facilitation of Projects & Initiatives course, our Culminating Facilitation Project was to work with a real-world client and use group process and facilitation methods to help them reach a specific goal and/or address a specific issue their organization was facing.

There were 5 total components to the Culminating Facilitation Project, including: 1. Situation Assessment; 2. Client Agreement; 3. Design, Facilitate, and Document; 4. Project Team Meetings & Learnings; 5. Project Final Report.

Shared here are the artifacts from my Final Report.

I was delighted to have Dolly in my Facilitation of Projects and Initiatives (LEAD 221) course. That class was particularly small as it was limited to an early cohort in Benerd’s then-new program Leading for Social Justice, MA in Leadership, but the work they did was outstanding. Dolly was an important contributor to that. Creative, thoughtful, and generous with kind and constructive feedback, Dolly demonstrated a commitment to the facilitative leadership approaches we were studying. Throughout my work with her, Dolly demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and equity in ways that exemplify our program goals and as such, is emerging into a capable and transformative leader.

Dolly Greenhalgh has been an impactful contributor and thought partner towards socially just education initiatives.  Throughout her participation in LEAD 200 (Exercising Leadership in Diverse Contexts), Dolly demonstrated vulnerability and community care whilst critically unpacking systems of oppression alongside her cohort mates. Dolly is a strong and endearing community member who not only theorizes, but lives it; her work is closely connected to her education philosophy and mission. I look forward to witnessing her ideas evolve, hopefully towards doctoral studies, and within the education research and praxis community.

I highly recommend Dolly as a passionate and principled social justice advocate who leads with both heart and intention. She is deeply committed to advancing equity through the power of play—a unique and impactful lens that she brings to her work in both national and international contexts. Her dedication to community empowerment and systemic change is evident in the way she consistently amplifies and uplifts marginalized voices.

Beyond her advocacy, Dolly is incredibly organized and thoughtful in her approach. She creates space for others, listens with care, and fosters a sense of belonging in every environment she’s part of. As a peer, she offers unwavering support—not just academically, but personally as well. She is the kind of classmate and friend who shows up, checks in, and uplifts those around her.

Dolly’s combination of purpose-driven leadership, genuine empathy, and commitment to equity makes her a remarkable collaborator and an asset to any team or initiative.

My name is Kendra Mosley, and I’ve worked with Dolly for the past two years on the National AmeriCorps Team at Playworks. She’s incredibly committed, passionate, and knowledgeable, and I genuinely enjoy working with her every day. Dolly pays close attention to detail, asks the right questions, and always follows through with high-quality work. She’s also the kind of teammate who’s always willing to help however she can. If she doesn’t have an answer right away, she makes a note of it, does the research, and follows up. I’m excited for the great things we will accomplish as a department as I continue working and building with her.
