The Imperatives of Diversity – Flourishing in the Era of Globalization

As technology shrinks our world, interpersonal relations across global boundaries expand rapidly. Participants explore emerging challenges and opportunities that face organizations in the 21st century.

What Do You See From Where You Stand?

Participants gain the opportunity to look at themselves and others through a new lens and learn how to improve human relations throughout our community.

Community Programs

Outside of our traditional programs that surround youth, leadership, and interfaith, NCCJ hosts programs specifically for the entire community. Throughout the year, NCCJ hosts community programs to inform more individuals about our work and we create opportunities for dialogue between different demographics. Last spring, NCCJ hosted an event called “Civil Rights: Then and Now.” The event drew an overwhelming amount of support from the community and included the play, “Periphery”, a panel of youth leaders and a dessert reception. For a complete list of events and programs led by NCCJ and our partners, visit the Calendar page.

Educator/Parent/Adult Workshops

These interactive 90 minute workshops were designed to create shared vision of and commitment to youth-led initiatives that promote student engagement in improving school climate. Adult participants attain greater self-awareness and develop higher expectations of all students. There two types of works for educators:

Collaborating for Change - Students play a vital role in improving school climate and offer assets and insights that are critical to the success of school reform. Led by NCCJ youth and staff, these sessions offer tools, tips and reflections for building successful and meaningful adult/youth alliances. Collaborating for Change can include up to 40 participants.

What We Can't Tell You – Facilitated dialogue and reflection promotes mutual understanding and respect between teenagers and the adults in their lives. Adult participants learn about the lasting effects that each interaction with teens can have on young people’s behaviors and their futures. This workshop allows up to 60 participants.
