Nonprofit Highlight: National Conference for Community & Justice

The National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ of Greater Dayton) builds a community dedicated to eliminating bias, bigotry and all forms of discrimination. For more than 40 years,  NCCJ has been successfully opposing injustices wherever it occurs, including neighborhoods, schools, pulpits and workplaces across the Region.

Today, NCCJ focuses on education and strategies to empower current and future leaders for community transformation, focusing on three key areas:

• Workplace Professional Development

• Youth Leadership Development

•  Community Advocacy and Action

“We had the pleasure of working with two remarkable PBPO attorneys on two separate projects.  I was impressed with their efforts to learn more about our organization and work before discussing the actual projects.  After a few telephone conversations, we had a plan of action which provided us with useful documents we continue to use. I especially appreciated their commitment to timelines and helpful suggestions we had not considered.  THANKS to PBPO, we have two new friends and ambassadors.”

– Mary Tyler, Executive Director, NCCJ of Greater Dayton
