"My advice to any school facing racial problems is to ask NCCJ to come in and work. I don't know what I would have done without NCCJ's expertise in promoting understanding and respect among all groups." - Angelo Kidd, Western Regional Superintendent, Guilford County Schools
The ANYTOWN ProCESS is a holistic series that aims to develop Guilford County students and educators into champions of respect and inclusion. Building on the powerful and proven concepts and practices of NCCJ’s award-winning ANYTOWN summer leadership camp, the ANYTOWN ProCESS offers programs year-round. Ranging from weekend and year-long to hour-long programs, NCCJ offers a diverse range of activities to improve the human relations climate in schools and local communities.
The overarching goal of the ANYTOWN ProCESS is to build home and school communities free of bias, bigotry and racism. ProCESS focuses on making schools safe, respectful and full of opportunities for everyone regardless of their race, religion, gender or culture. This project uses conscious-raising activities and leadership development among youth and educators as primary strategies for attaining this goal.
The ANYTOWN ProCESS trains ANYTOWN graduates and other youth to serve as leaders and mentors to their peers in programs and practices that bridge differences and build community. Countless NCCJ youth leaders across the county have organized special events on their campuses; hosted human relations days and unity events; started Gay-Straight Alliances, social justice and multicultural clubs; and taken leadership roles in student human relations commissions and student councils. The ANYTOWN ProCESS harnesses student power as an effective resource for enhancing school climate.
