Guilford County Disproportionate Minority Contact Committee (DMC)

Consultants worked with high school students in preparation for a group presentation on the findings of the DMC Sheriff’sCommittee which spent the past year analyzing data provided by Guilford County Schools, Greensboro and High Point police departments, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, and the juvenile justice system. The committee is charged with researching the overrepresentation of minority youths in Guilford County’s juvenile justice system and devising a plan to address the issue. This youth presentation is part of the plan.

Branches of Love

Consultants participated in the annual Branches of Love event on UNCG’s campus. They created home-made ornaments and decorated the Christmas tree to be donated to the Salvation Army and given to a local family.
