Hate in the Hallways: Youth Leadership Weekend Conferences

Work in the New York City Public Schools
Working cooperatively with the NYC public schools, NCCJ provides leadership and conflict resolution skills to youth, empowering them to combat violence and create more inclusive communities.


Youth Leadership Weekend Conferences
The Greater New York Region conducts Youth Leadership Weekend Conferences on a contract basis. The conferences are two to three days and are usually held at a YMCA Conference Center (Greenkill Conference Center, Huguenot NY).

The purpose of the conferences is to help youth become effective leaders in a multicultural environment. We achieve this by taking the students through a series of activities focused on communication, team building and raising their awareness of how prejudice and stereotypes effect their perceptions and behavior. We emphasize that given the incredible multi cultural diversity of the New York City region (and that the nation is looking more and more like New York than less) these leadership skills are necessary to the success of the city and the nation.

Multicultural Youth Leadership Workshops
The Greater New York Region conducts Youth Leadership Diversity Workshops on a contract basis. The workshops are held at the school or clients site and are tailored to meet the needs of the youth.
