Anytown Arizona, Inc.

Anytown began as an annual
human relations workshop
conference for 150 youth
nominated by the principals of
their schools and directors of
community agencies. The
program was developed by the
National Conference for
Christians and Jews, now the
National Conference for
Community and Justice (NCCJ)
to bring together diverse youth
from disparate backgrounds and
overcome isolation, segregation
and discrimination, and to work
toward the realization of
democracy. Since 1952, the
Anytown program in Arizona has
grown and impacted the lives of
tens of thousands of young
people.

In 2005, Anytown Arizona was
incorporated as an independent
501(c)(3) after the national
program was eliminated during a
NCCJ transition. Anytown
Arizona has since taken over the
administration and fundraising
responsibilities and continues to
provide high-quality
programming to hundreds of
Arizona's teens each year.
Moreover, Anytown Arizona has
extended beyond the annual
summer camps to offer
year-round programs in Arizona's
schools and organizations.
