JUST Community: Youth Leadership Institute is such a place. JUST Community (formerly known as Anytown) is a week long residential experience for youth 15-17 years of age who are ready to confront tough issues and bridge the differences that divide us as people. Founded in the belief that actual knowledge, understanding and friendship make it much harder to hate, JUST Community provides freshman, sophomores, and juniors from high schools throughout the Greater Cincinnati area with the opportunity to live with, work with, share with and learn with their peers from different backgrounds, beliefs and experiences. Through workshops, adventure/challenge activities, games and lessons in living, 50 youth, along with our counselors and advisors, create a community that learns to embrace diversity and practice inclusion, equity and justice for all.

All staff members have completed background checks and participated in training sessions. Many staff members are also JUST Community alumni.

The cost of the JUST Community experience is $500 per delegate, which includes all meals, transportation, lodging, insurance, educational materials, t-shirt and photo.
