The results of PCTN's Community Survey were announced at a Press Conference on August 6, 2008, at PCTN's office, 6023 Skyway. All media were invited.

On February 7, 2008, PCTN sent a survey to every residence in three zip codes (95967, 95969, and 95954). The mailing reached 21,000+ residents. The survey was funded by a grant from The California Endowment and responses were anonymous.

The stated purpose of the survey was twofold:
- To learn about the experiences and opinions of Paradise residents regarding discrimination, bullying and hate-motivated behavior within our community
- To learn what, if anything, Paradise residents know about the Paradise Center for Tolerance and Nonviolence

The survey generated interesting press as seen from the articles posted on this website.

A total of 1,181 surveys were returned, more than twice the amount we anticipated! At the August 6th press conference, the survey results were announced, along with PCTN's plan to address the issues that surfaced from the survey.

Then a PCTN task force developed our response to the survey, answering the questions:

• What are the key findings?
• What action will PCTN take in response to the survey results and key findings?
