EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Community Tampa Bay, formerly known as The National Conference for Community and Justice’s Anytown program began fifty years ago to promote understanding and cooperation among students from diverse racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds by helping students understand and appreciate the unique multicultural society.
Today, more than 25 regions conduct the Anytown program around the United States. Anytown graduates hold key positions in government, academic, and business organizations. Anytown has been cited as a “Best Practice” by the United State Department of Education and President Clinton’s Race Relations Initiative, “One America.” Additionally, Anytown was cited by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency as “one of the best programs in the nation for preventing juvenile delinquency.”
