Anytown Alabama

Start Date/Time: Sunday, June 2, 2013

End Date/Time: Saturday, June 8, 2013

Description:

Anytown Alabama is a wonderful opportunity for high school students to develop leadership skills that they can bring back to their school and community.

We recruit student “delegates” from all over Birmingham so that every race, gender, religion, school, neighborhood, immigration status and ability is represented. Delegates are encouraged to participate in honest dialogue and interactive learning about social justice issues. Students learn how to respond to difficult real-life situations with kindness, courage, and respect.

The $400 fee includes all meals, transportation, lodging, educational materials and a camp t-shirt. Full and partial scholarships are available to delegates who need financial assistance. Students will not be prevented from attending Anytown because of their inability to pay. Neither staff nor delegates will know how much, if any, financial assistance is given to anyone.

Early Acceptance Deadline: March 22
Official Deadline: April 15
