OUR HISTORY

In 1971, the Orange County Board of Supervisors in collaboration with the League of Cities created the Orange County Human Relations Commission. Over the last 34 years, Orange County has changeddramatically, transitioning from a predominately white suburban community to a diverse urban county,of the more than 3 million residents. Two thirds of the students in Orange County K-12 schools are ethnic minorities. This rapid demographic change underscores the need for an effective human relationsorganization. The Commission is governed by 11 Commissioners appointed by the Board of Supervisors and the League of Cities, and administered by the Orange County Housing Community Services Depart-ment.

“To foster mutual understanding among residents in order to make Orange County a better place for ALL people to live, work and do business.”

The Orange County Human Relations Council is a private, non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1991 for the purpose of developing and implementing proactive human relations programs in partner-ship with schools, corporations, cities, foundations and individuals. The Council provides an awardwinning violence prevention program in the schools, conflict resolution programs and inter grouprelations initiatives in the communities all over Orange County. Supported through grants, donations, fees and contracts, the Council is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of diverse community leaders and guided by a Community Partners Advisory Board that is comprised of executives from major corporations and institutions.

“To seek out the causes of tension and conflict,discrimination and intolerance and eliminate those causes.”

Highlights

BearPaw PreserveProvides Mountain RetreatDuring the 2004-05 academic year, a total of 201participants attended 13 retreats and one humanrelations institute at BearPaw. Retreats held atBearPaw, located in the San Bernardino NationalForest, provide a safe environment for cultivatingpositive inter-group relations among students.

Activities include the acquisition of advanced human relations skills in the areas of dialogue, conflict resolu-tion, leadership training and school wide project devel-opment. Students are engaged with a variety of tech-niques such as artistic projects and role plays along with outdoor activities including hikes, ropes course challenges and campfires.

Human Relations Associates Program This year members of HRAP reached out to over 1,000 students in Orange County through workshops and pre-sentations completing an impressive list of projects:

starting a Latino student organization to offer information and resources to Spanish speaking and Latino students. organizing mothers to learn English. holding a candle light vigil against violence in schools. organizing events to raise awareness and counter religious intolerance. coordinating petitions and letter writing campaigns in protest to legislation. The Human Relations Associates Program is a year-long internship designed to provide advanced human relations training to a diverse cross section of Orange County youth. Students meet monthly to discusshuman relations issues, learn new activities and develop workshops and community presentations. Associates further the mission of OC Human Relations by serv-ing as youth representatives of the agency in commu-nity events as participants, presenters and facilitators.

District-wide BRIDGES Initiative Breaks New Ground Initiated by Magnolia High School’s “Sents of Pride” human relations group, the first annual Anaheim Union High School District BRIDGES retreat was held on January 19, 2005. The retreat’s purpose was to bring together Hu-man Relations leaders throughout the AUHSD to discuss and compare overall district chal-lenges for students and support each other by creating a network that shares ideas and plans. The five participating schools were Lo-ara, Savanna, Magnolia, Cypress and Katella. At the retreat, students presented an over-view of the BRIDGES program on their cam-pus. Each school provided valuable feedback and suggestions on how to improve their respective programs. Students created a list of school wide projects and decided that each school would be responsible for organizing one district wide project. On April 23 and May 7, 2005 Loara High School coordinated the first district wide project with the non-profit, Paint Your Heart Out. The participating students painted the home of an 82 year-old woman who has been a resident of Anaheim since 1934.

1000 Energized Walk In My Shoes Over 1000 students were energized and em-powered at this year’s two intercultural sym-posiums presented at CSUF. Topics included bullying, experiences of immigrant youth and creating positive change in schools and com-munities. In their evaluations, students told OC Human Relations:

“I know I can make a difference.” --Student, Loara High School

“I love this program, all students should attend these workshops to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.” --Student, Brookhurst Jr. High School

“The dialogues were the catalyst that helped create an interfaith group of individu-

als representing clergy and lay people from the Jewish, Chris-tian and Muslim communi-

ties under the name: Common Ground.”

Jim Grossman, Laguna Beach

Community BuildingFor 34 years, OC Human Relations has increased social cohesion by organizing community building initiatives with the collabora-tion of diverse non-profit organizations, law enforcement agencies and residents.

Organize community building initiatives through

collaboration with diverse organizations and resi-

dents in order to promote mutual understanding,

advocate for justice and build community capacity.

Hate Crime and PoliceGuides Published “Hate Crimes—A Guide for Victims” was designed to assist victims and their families with information such as agencies to contact, civil and criminal resources, and victim assistance.

“Interacting with the Police—Rights and Responsibilities and Com-mendations and Complaints” was developed with the assistance of a police advisory committee to provide an effective brochure on police and community relations issues. Both are available upon request.

Diversity Training Launched with St. Joseph Health SystemAmong numerous trainings for businesses, organizations, commu-nities and law enforcement, a collaborative diversity training was launched with St. Joseph Health System. Other trainings during the year included the County of Orange, United Way, the Sheriff’s Academy and conferences.

Fieldstone Foundation Provides InitialFunding for Human Relations InstituteThe development phase for the Human Relations Institute taking place in the fall of 2005 attracted an impressive team of community leaders to assist with curriculum design and implementation. The Institute is open to those interested in understanding social justice and diversity issues in Orange County.

Comments

“The Commission is not some ‘feel good’ organization, their work with law en-forcement is operational. Their relation-ships and methods are a vital tool that we use in our effort to make Orange County safe.” - Sheriff Mike Carona

“I have seen tremendous growth in the parents who have participated in the leadership training offered by OC Human Relations. Participants have successfully taken on leadership posi-tions in their local PTAs, worked on Task Forces in their communities and rallied the school boards to meet the needs of their children. The training opened doors for parents who otherwise had not known how to navigate the various sys-tems in our city. I am so proud to see the progress that has been made in the community because of the work of this energetic group of people.” - Pam Keller, Co-Chair Fullerton Collaborative

HighlightsResidents Empowered in Community Building Initiatives

Valencia Task ForceOC Human Relations concluded a three year initiative aimed at empowering low-income residents from the Valencia Community in South West Fullerton to participate in civic life and become more effective agents of change.

The project trained residents to become in-volved in city council meetings, navigate the system, and have a voice in police and city departments to work on traffic, redevelopment and crime issues. The residents conducted an assessment, advocated for a St. Jude clinic to be built in their park and developed a variety of projects to improve the Valencia Commu-nity.

West FullertonImprovement InitiativeThe first phase of a three-year grant project aimed at improving health and housing condi-tions in West Fullerton began in collaboration with St. Jude Medical Center. OCHR recruited and trained 20 residents in community leader-ship skills, conducted community mediation services and training for residents, and provid-ed technical assistance for community capacity building. In October 2004, residents were able to organize a candidate forum and in March 2005 obtained from the City’s CDBG program the sum of $5,000 to start a youth leader-ship project. Also, the local Learning Center obtained $7,000 from the CDBG program to continue serving underprivileged children.

St. Jude Medical Center, Orange County Congregation Community Organization (OCCCO), Latino Health Access, City of Fullerton and other organizations.

HighlightsThe Dispute Resolution Program OC Human Relations provides services to all residents of Orange County who are interested in resolving a dispute with the aid of a third party neutral mediator. Once both parties agree to resolve the dispute through mediation and are ready to meet, a mediation session is scheduled. The goal is to reach an agreement that is satisfactory to both parties. Projects of the Dispute Resolution Program are Community Mediation Services, Court Mediation Services and the Common Ground Project.

Community Mediation ServicesMediation services offer an alternative to those who are un-comfortable with the legal system or are unaware of their rights and seek a friendlier approach to resolving their con-flicts. Conducted at the OC Human Relations office, media-tion and conciliation services are provided to the commu-nity through phone consultations, walk-in and appointment based assessments, and sit-down meetings with parties that have a dispute. Landlord/tenant situations dominate the volume of cases followed by employment related con-cerns.

Case StoryConsumer/Merchant—client received refund of $650 after months of trying on her own to obtain the money when an appraiser did not perform the contracted service.

Court Mediation Services Under the auspices of the California Dispute Resolution Programs Act of 1986, litigants in all Orange County courts are given the opportunity to settle their disputes in media-tion with the assistance of a trained mediator addressing matters that range from small claims to civil harassment and limited civil cases. At the North Justice Center, me-diation has been expanded to provide litigants in limited civil cases ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 the opportunity to negotiate a mutually acceptable resolution outside the courtroom, thus minimizing litigation costs and resources of the court. Since that office opened, 4,952 cases have been mediated with 1459 cases processed this year.

Case StorySeveral neighbors filed civil harassment cases against each other seeking permanent restraining orders. Their dispute arose over boundary and noise issues that created alter-cations in the neighborhood. As a result of mediation, all cases were resolved by detailed stipulations addressing the pertinent issues concerning the litigants, and no permanent restraining orders were issued.

Common Ground Established 4 years ago, Common Ground brings our mediation and conciliation ser-vices to three local communities—Orange, Westminster and Fullerton. These communi-ty center based neighborhood clinics expand mediation services to individuals who oth-erwise may not be able to find adequate re-sources to help them resolve their disputes. Presentations educated more people on their rights and obligations with housing, employ-ment and consumer-related issues. The most common disputes were cases of unpaid wages, domestic quarrels, security deposits and eviction issues.

Case Story Abrazar Community CenterTwo Latino families lived next to each other and one thought the other was always spying on them. Family A was new to the United States and Family B had been liv-ing in the states for generations. At the community center, Family A contacted a mediator and after listening to both parties, the mediator determined the behavior was based upon cultural differences. Family B wanted the best price for his house when the time came to sell and Family A believed in keeping a home forever and passing it on to other generations. Family A realized that family B’s behavior was market oriented rather than hate based. The parties decided to communicate better and now live next to each other in peace.
