Inclusion Center

OMG. Really? I cannot believe that this most amazing, wonderful organization, the Inclusion Center for Community and Justice, has never been added to Unilocal.More people really need to know that this stellar community resource is available. I’m sure many do already (well, I know many do already) but maybe this way more will discover them.
First off, they are not a new presence in the state, but have been around for well over 80 years! I won’t go into history as they have information on their website (and you can drop by and ask them about it, too!), but at least know, if you haven’t heard of them previously, you’ve been missing out and should hurry and try to make up for lost time! ;-)
The ICCJ works to combat bigotry and discrimination in our communities. Their employees, few in number as they are, devote themselves to facilitate growth, support connections and foster understanding in and among people. They offer trainings both for private groups as well as for the public. In brief, they offer multiple retreats, throughout the year (mostly in the summer) for youth (e.g. Anytown and Global Leaders) and adults (i.e. Inclusion Summit).
If you have any interest in social justice, this is a longstanding, reputable organization where you can engage and learn. I have yet to meet anyone who has any distaste for the ICCJ (and while I have by no means met all of their supporters — the reach of their impact is broad and extensive — I have met many supporters/​members/​friends etc.).
Really, I could go on and on about this non-​profit, which I love dearly (and love in the sincerest way, far more than just «I heart …») I will end my comments here, concluding with this: the ICCJ, composed of a few dedicated staff and many, many volunteers, creates change in the community and helps tear down walls that divide us as humans, rebuilding healthy relationships and conscious minds.
