will use what they learned to make a positive impact in their community.
I was so nervous about coming to camp and honestly didn’t want to go, but I’m so grateful I did. I learned more here than I have in school itself, including how to be a better human and ally to others. I was the only student from my high school to attend, and I hope more people from my school come in the future. Programs like Anytown truly change people.Khai, Mountain Ridge

Anytown has been a great experience for me. Not just because of the amount I’ve learned, but because of the friends I’ve made along the way. Anytown has also been the one space where I was truly myself and felt accepted by everyone and not judged for who I like or how I act.Kain, Ridgeview College Prep

Volunteer With UsBringing Anytown beyond camp
This year, our goal is to grow our school and community workshops so students can build communication, leadership and relationship skills in their own schools. By partnering with schools and youth-serving organizations, we hope to reach hundreds more students throughout the year.
