Founded in 1937, the National Conference for Christians and Jews was built on a simple and still urgent belief, that confronting prejudice through honest dialogue strengthens communities. That belief guides Anytown Las Vegas today as Nevada’s longest running anti bias youth program for high school students. For nearly 40 years, we have built partnerships with the Clark County School District, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individual supporters who understand that young people need spaces to confront injustice directly. Our work is rooted in a clear commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Anytown Las Vegas has evolved because the realities young people face demand it. While our work began by confronting racism and religious bias, we now engage directly with racism, prejudice, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and how power and identity shape everyday life. We do not avoid hard conversations. Through direct dialogue and collective learning, students gain the tools to challenge bias, interrupt harm, and stand up for themselves and others. This is anti racism education with purpose, and we are explicit about where we stand.
