FreeLand Youth Camp

Monday, June 27, 2011 delegates eagerly began their week at Freeland Youth Camp. This years Urban camp was held at First Congregational Church on Cooper and was a return to the overnight format. Special Thanks to all who attended and to Molly Okeon and Jamie Griffin for co-chairing camp and making sure everything went okay, Ameenah Ameen, Ashley Robinson, Cindy Sakaan (board member), Donesha Crumb, Jalisa Joyner, Jerry Kimball, Laura Ingram (board member), Molly Okeon (board member), Zach Sakaan and others worked during camp. And special thanks to Frank Murtaugh who singlehandedly lined up all the meals for camp.
In addition to the above named staff, who help organize, provide food, execute, recruit, provide transportation and just make sure we had everything we needed to run camp, we certainly want to thank those who came out in a show of support on Visitors’ Day (Lee Filderman, Carolyn Head, & Laura Ingram) as well. Plus Rose Flenorl of FedEx for coming out to speak with the campers about staying involved with the organization.

Multi-faith Dialogue

Diversity Memphis works with a broad spectrum of our faith communities' leaders and members to design programs that provide information, education and the opportunity to participate in interactive learning. Through social, prayerful, powerful exchanges we learn about each other and the faith communities in our city. We examine the ties that bind us together and the differences that make us unique

FreeLand Youth Camp

Our youth camp, named after long time supporter Dennis Freeland, brings together high school students from diverse backgrounds to provide opportunities for leadership, learning and social engagement. We believe that children are our future and by broadening their horizons we can change our world. Programs designed for weekends, a weeklong camp, and special day and evening gatherings introduce delegates to a unique experience. Social networks are established, prejudices examined, and the opportunity to create a land free from bias, bigotry and racism becomes a reality.

Adult Programs

Programs designed to discuss sensitive subjects such as Disparities in Healthcare, workplace issues and examination of those common threads that bind us together are designed and implemented following extensive discussion.
Programs are interactive and involve participants in a postive experience that utilzes humor and personal examination of issues. Discussion and dialogue are essential elements.
