What does ANYTOWN® Look Like This Year?

We were not able to host ANYTOWN® last year because of a global pandemic but we were not about to let that stop us for a 2nd year in a row! We made a commitment that we would definitely be doing ANYTOWN® in 2021 and you better believe we are!

Obviously, we have adapted ANYTOWN® 2021 to make sure we prioritize safety and health. What’s different about this year?

• Each session will span 2 full days without the residential component. Participants will arrive at ANYTOWN® each morning and leave each evening.
• Each session will have a maximum of 30 delegate participants and 15 volunteer staff from diverse backgrounds.
• Activities and workshops will incorporate social distancing and other public health measures.

What’s the same? During each 2-day session, participants can expect to engage in icebreakers, teambuilders, workshops, small group dialogues, leadership activities, music, songs, dance, and of course, food! We will build community with high school youth and volunteers who look differently, live differently, love differently, and pray differently to envision what an inclusive community free from discrimination would look, sound, and feel like.
