5 NCCJ PROGRAMS: An Overview Founded in1927 as the National Conference of Christians and Jews, NCCJ changed its name to the National Conference for Community and Justice in 1999 to reflect the organization s work. After changing lives in Guilford County and the surrounding community for 70 years, NCCJ of the Piedmont Triad was incorporated as an independent organization in Throughout the fiscal year ending August 31, 2010, NCCJ worked directly with more than 4,700 people including elementary, middle and high school students, as well as college students and adults. NCCJ s programs comprise three broad categories: ANYTOWN ProCESS (Providing a Continuum of Engagement to Students and Schools): This holistic series aims to develop Guilford County students and educators into champions of respect and inclusion. ProCESS builds on the powerful and proven concepts and practices of the ANYTOWN model. ANYTOWN: NCCJ s nationally acclaimed, week-long human-relations camp brings together high school juniors and seniors to: Create bonds of friendship and respect across different races, religions, and socio-economic groups; Raise awareness and understanding of social justice issues facing our society today; and Prepare these youth leaders to return to their schools and communities as champions for inclusion and respect. ANYDAY: ANYDAY programs are experiential, student-centered activities that guide participants in developing a new awareness of themselves and their role in inter-group relations. ProCESS activities include diverse groups of students and staff in Guilford County elementary, middle, and high schools. NCCJ also offers overnight retreats (ANYNIGHT) for specific schools. After ANYTOWN Ambassador Program: Building on their powerful ANYTOWN experiences, students keep the ANYTOWN spirit alive yearround while they learn skills and strategies needed to effect change in their schools. Participants in the Ambassador Program also help to facilitate ANYDAY programs. Youth Leadership Conference: This annual gathering convenes hundreds of high school students from Guilford County public and independent

6 schools. The students focus on building relationships as they create a common vision of the power of unity and inclusion. Leaders for Tomorrow: ANYTOWN youth leaders work with middle school students to develop their leadership skills in community-based summer workshops. Community-based Programs Workplace Programs Brotherhood / Sisterhood Citation Award Dinner: NCCJ s annual dinner celebrates brotherhood and sisterhood in our community and recognizes outstanding Piedmont Triad citizens like Jim Melvin and Jim Morgan in who live NCCJ s vision and strive to improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Interfaith Tours: Each year, hundreds of people in Guilford County visit diverse houses of worship to experience a variety of faith traditions. Participants develop a stronger appreciation and respect for different belief systems. Interfaith Study Mission to Israel: Co-sponsored with Greensboro Jewish Federation and the Community and Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the biannual mission builds of understanding by bringing together an interfaith group of Triad residents who travel through the land where three major faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) originated. Participants return to the Triad prepared to assume larger leadership roles that transcend religious boundaries. Plans are underway for the 6 th Interfaith Study Mission, scheduled for The Imperatives of Diversity: As technology shrinks our work, interpersonal relations across global boundaries expand rapidly.
